After giving up two runs in the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, Glasnow was removed from the game with what the Dodgers later called right shoulder discomfort. He went out for his warm up pitches before summoning manager Dave Roberts and a trainer. He then left the game and was replaced by Ben Casparius .

Glasnow, 31, signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract extension with the Dodgers before the 2024 season which restructered a previous one-year deal. In his first season with L.A. last year, he made 22 starts, which was a career-high. He has made four starts and pitched 17 innings to start the 2025 campaign, but now may be headed for the IL.

The right-hander attributed the discomfort to changes he made in his delivery to try to keep his elbow healthy.
