Sun Apr 27 20:30:00 UTC 2025: **Dodgers Pitcher Tyler Glasnow Exits Game with Leg Cramps, but Expected to Start Next Week**
LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow left Sunday’s game in the fifth inning due to leg cramps. While the injury is concerning given the team’s already depleted pitching rotation, manager Dave Roberts expects Glasnow to make his next scheduled start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Glasnow, who missed the end of last season and the playoffs with an elbow injury, pitched four scoreless innings before exiting, striking out six batters. His early exit adds to the Dodgers’ pitching woes, which include Blake Snell on the injured list with a shoulder injury, and Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin currently on rehab assignments. Shohei Ohtani is also out for several more months.
Despite the recent setback, Roberts expressed optimism about Glasnow’s recovery. Glasnow himself had previously commented on making mechanical adjustments this season to improve his health and stamina. He pitched a career-high 134 innings last year before his elbow injury.
Glasnow currently boasts a 3.71 ERA and 23 strikeouts in four starts this season. The Dodgers will be hoping for a swift recovery to avoid further strain on their already thin starting rotation.
