Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow left his second consecutive start with an injury. In Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Glasnow exited due to right shoulder discomfort.

Glasnow, who left his last start against the Texas Rangers because of leg cramps, provided the latest update on his shoulder following Sunday’s 9-2 victory. He was visibly upset about the latest setback.
“Frustrated,” he said. “The extensions trying to throw, something grabbed. I think just making changes, trying to stay healthy. It’s just extremely frustrating.
“It kind of comes and goes. I think I’ll change something else in my mechanics, and nothing feels connected. I think mechanical stuff, other things are taking over stressing other parts. I don’t know just trying to figure it out.”
Glasnow threw just 17 pitches before making his untimely departure. As he was warming up ahead of the second inning, the right-hander was seen shaking out his arm.
“I’m not sure yet,” Glasnow said on whether he would get imaging on his shoulder.
Given the nature of Glasnow’s injury, a stint on the injured list seems realistic. The right-hander would join two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell on IL.
Snell was placed on the 15-day IL April 6, and his timeline to return remains uncertain. Roberts said Snell could make a start as soon as this week, but another setback in his rehab scrapped those plans.
One month into the season, the Dodgers could have two starters on the IL. Though, Tony Gonsolin and Clayton Kershaw are currently on rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
