Dodgers' Glasnow exits vs. Pirates with shoulder discomfort

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow left Sunday's start against the Pittsburgh Pirates with right shoulder discomfort.

Glasnow exited before the second inning after seemingly feeling something during his warmup throws.

He believes it may be attributable to mechanical changes he's made to try to stay healthy.

"I’m just obsessed with trying to figure out what’s going on. And it’s been like this for a few years, and I’m trying to find a way to stay healthy, and I’ll try to do whatever," Glasnow said, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.

"I just don’t really have an answer right now, and I think that’s the most frustrating thing. It's not a lack of trying. It’s just kind of just getting exhausting at this point. I know it’s probably exhausting for a lot of people, for me especially. ... I feel bad for my teammates. I feel bad for people watching."

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said it's still to be determined whether Glasnow will have imaging done on his shoulder, per Benjamin Royer of the Los Angeles Times.

It's a second consecutive early departure for Glasnow, who was pulled from his last start April 20 after just four innings due to lower leg cramps.

Injuries remain an ongoing concern for the 31-year-old. He threw a career-high 134 innings in 2024 but missed the entirety of Los Angeles' World Series run with an elbow issue.

The righty has never made more than 22 starts in a season.
