Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow’s body is “not responding” to his pitching progression, per manager Dave Roberts.

Glasnow will take a step back in his progression and go back to playing catch on flat ground.

Tyler Glasnow threw a bullpen recently, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said his body is “not responding.” He’s still playing catch, but the team doesn’t know when he’ll get off a mound again.

“I know he’s just as frustrated as we all are,” Roberts said.

Per #Dodgers Dave Roberts — Tyler Glasnow felt “general body soreness” after his one bullpen session over a week ago and has backed it down to playing catch on flat ground

Glasnow was recently transferred to the 60-day injured list with continued shoulder inflammation, retroactive to April 28. He is one of 15 Dodgers pitchers currently on the IL in what has been a brutal display for the pitching roster.

The right-hander was five starts into 2025 before his year was halted, and he attained a 4.50 ERA over 18 innings of work. This is up from his 3.49 ERA mark last season which earned him his first All-Star selection.

Glasnow is in the 88th percentile among qualified starting pitchers in strikeout percentage, punching out 29.9 percent of batters faced, but has seen a bit of a drop in his fastball velocity, a pitch that he uses the most (46.4 percent of the time) in his mix.

Last season saw a 96.3 mph average on his heater, placing him in the 84th percentile of qualified pitchers. But this season is at a 95.2 mph average, the 69th percentile in MLB.

This has also factored into Glasnow’s lowered swing-and-miss rate, which is at 27.6 percent of his pitches, or the 67th percentile among pitchers. The All-Star was in the 85th percentile of this category in 2024.

Whether the injuries have contributed to these stats or not, Glasnow must soon find a way to progress back onto the mound and contribute to an ailing Dodgers pitching roster. The Newhall, CA native has proven to be a force when he is healthy, but for now, he will continue playing catch on flat ground.
