Dodgers’ Glasnow’s Side Discomfort Casts Shadow Over Game 7 Availability

TORONTO – The Los Angeles Dodgers’ quest for a repeat World Series title in Game 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays may be complicated by the potential limited availability of pitcher Tyler Glasnow.

According to Fox’s Tom Verducci, Glasnow, who started Game 3 and closed out Game 6, is experiencing discomfort in his side. This issue could impact his ability to contribute in the decisive Game 7. Notably, the veteran pitcher has never pitched on consecutive days during his professional career.

While Glasnow expressed optimism after Game 6, saying he felt good and hoped to pitch back-to-back, the Dodgers are also preparing to start Shohei Ohtani on short rest. Ohtani, who threw six innings in Game 4, is the team’s most rested starting pitcher.

The availability of other starters like Blake Snell (on two days’ rest) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (on zero days’ rest) remains uncertain, further complicating the Dodgers’ pitching strategy.

Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani’s innings will depend on his performance and how he feels during the game, adopting a “read and react” approach.

Glasnow’s situation adds a layer of uncertainty for the Dodgers as they aim to become the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back World Series championships.
