Summary

Glasnet 1,000th Strikeout

Tyler Glasnet recorded his 1,000th career strikeout, fanning Yordan Álvarez and becoming the 576th MLB pitcher to reach the milestone.
He left after one inning because a lower-back spasm, a pain he has felt since high school, caused a warm-up pitch to give out.
Jack Dreyer threw two scoreless innings, helping a six-pitcher combo secure the win while the bullpen allowed one run.

Summary

Dodgers Roster Shuffle

Glasnow’s early exit after a five-year, $136.5 million deal forced the Dodgers to adjust their roster.
The club activated Brock Stewart and optioned Jake Eder to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Los Angeles traded with the Toronto Blue Jays for a 28-year-old infielder, adding depth under payroll constraints.
With Blake Snell on rehab, the Dodgers must promote Roki Sasaki or Emmet Sheehan, a choice that could affect future contracts.

Summary

Glasnow MRI

Glasnow linked his back spasms to his height, saying they occur a few times a year.
Manager Dave Roberts said Glasnow will undergo an MRI in Los Angeles to verify the condition.
Glasnow was limited to 18 regular-season starts in 2025 because right-shoulder inflammation kept him out from April 27 to July 9.
Glasnow said he isn’t worried, hopes to return soon, and will look back on the game positively.
