Dodgers RHP Tyler Glasnow (back) exits after one inning
Glasnow struck out Yordan Alvarez for his 1,000th career K before leaving after one inning, and the Dodgers said he had low back pain.
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow exited Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros before the second inning after signaling discomfort during warm-ups; manager Dave Roberts and a trainer walked him off the field with low back pain.
Before departing, Glasnow recorded his 1,000th career strikeout by retiring Yordan Alvarez on a curveball in the first inning, breaking the record for fewest innings needed to reach that milestone as a starting pitcher.
Glasnow has a history of back issues; he missed three weeks in 2024 due to lower back tightness and was scratched from a start last September against the Baltimore Orioles with the same recurring problem.
Six Dodgers relievers combined to hold the Astros to one run over the final eight innings, securing an 11-2 victory while the team awaited updates on Glasnow's condition.
Should Glasnow require injured list time, the Dodgers have a clear replacement in Blake Snell, who is nearing a return from shoulder inflammation and is currently on a rehab assignment with Single-A Ontario.
