ARLINGTON, Texas — Perhaps it was simply wishful thinking for the Los Angeles Dodgers brass to speak of dreams of having so much pitching depth at the trade deadline that they’d be sellers. Pitching depth has a way of thinning out. And memories of the Dodgers’ injury woes from a year ago had a way of flooding back on Sunday afternoon, as Tyler Glasnow exited his start against the Texas Rangers after just 52 pitches with an apparent injury.

Glasnow had not allowed a run when he flexed his leg in the fourth inning before facing Rangers outfielder Dustin Harris. He kicked out his leg as he delivered a two-strike pitch in the at-bat, and drew a visit from manager Dave Roberts and head athletic trainer Thomas Albert after he struck out Harris with a curveball. Glasnow insisted he was fine, striking out Josh Jung on a fastball to end the inning.

He lasted just one more pitch, delivering a 93.7 mph fastball before Roberts returned to the mound accompanied by Albert and pitching coach Mark Prior. He appeared to point towards his right ankle, moving it around before exiting.
The team has not said what specifically what was bothering Glasnow, who has a 3.71 ERA through what was his fourth start of the season.
Glasnow had raved all spring about how good he’d felt physically after missing the Dodgers’ World Series run last October. He ditched his weighted ball program in favor of a more rigorous long toss regimen. Much of his workouts were centered around adding athleticism to his delivery with the hope that it would take stress off his elbow. He’d shown no ill effects from the sprained elbow that ended his season last August.
Now, he’s facing another potential injury blow. He’d thrown a career-most 134 innings in a career-high 22 starts in 2024, the first year of a new nine-figure extension he’d signed after the Dodgers acquired him from the Tampa Bay Rays the previous offseason.
The Dodgers are already without two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell, who went on the injured list this month with left shoulder inflammation. Snell threw his first bullpen session since then on Saturday and reported feeling good, with both he and Roberts seemingly confident he could return without a rehab assignment.

“I just want to pitch,” Snell said Saturday. “Am I worried about it? No. I was worried about it when I went on the IL but not anymore. It feels way better.”
They also avoided the worst on Saturday with reliever Blake Treinen, with an MRI showing what Roberts called a “low-grade” sprain in his forearm. The Dodgers are hoping that Treinen can avoid medical intervention, opting for rest and rehab for the time being.
“I would say we’re in the dodged-a-bullet category,” Roberts said.
The Dodgers’ pitching depth is already looking thinner than it seemed on paper. Landon Knack, Justin Wrobleski and Bobby Miller have combined to allow 21 runs in 16 2/3 innings of spot duty already this season. Tony Gonsolin is still working his way back from a back injury; he’s built up to four innings so far in his rehab assignment. Clayton Kershaw won’t be ready until the end of May at the very earliest. Emmet Sheehan won’t be an option until at least that timeframe, as well. And the Dodgers have been deliberate with Shohei Ohtani’s pitching rehab from a second major elbow ligament reconstruction.
Losing Glasnow on Sunday, at the very least, is a scare that shines a light on the depth that might not be as strong as the Dodgers originally thought.

How Liverpool became Premier League champions: Mohamed Salah’s form, Manchester City’s slide, more
Getty Images Months after building a commanding lead atop the Premier League table, Liverpool were officially crowned champions on Sunday following a 5-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur, completing the impressive feat in their first season under manager Arne Slot.The final months of Liverpool's title-winning run saw the team go into cruise control, surviving the few bumps along the way thanks to the unassailable lead they had built in the early parts of the season. It may have resulted in an anticlimactic end of sorts to the Premier League title race, though their surge to the top was not necessarily easy to predict at the start of the campaign.It was unclear how quickly Liverpool would transition out of the Jurgen Klopp era, a nearly nine-year period that brought renewed success to the club that included one Premier League title, one UEFA […]
Liverpool win Premier League title for first time since 2019-20 season with 5-1 victory over Tottenham
Getty Images Liverpool officially won the Premier League title on Sunday, clinching the crown with the 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield. The victory created a 15-point advantage at the top of the table with just four games left in their season. The Reds only needed a draw to win the league, but surpassed that with a scoring outburst that highlighted the attacking qualities that got the team this far. It got off to a slightly complicated start when Dominic Solanke scored for the visitors in the 12th minute, but Luis Diaz's 16th-minute strike was enough to ensure the Reds would win the title. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and an own goal from Destiny Udogie ensured there would be much to celebrate in Liverpool. The Reds have long been the favorites to win the title, losing […]
Liverpool win Premier League title in Arne Slot’s debut season
It was 343 days ago when Jurgen Klopp stood in the Anfield centre circle and delivered an emotion-fuelled farewell speech.“It doesn’t feel like an end, it just feels like the start,” he reassured a fanbase concerned about what the future looked like without him in it.“Change is good. If you go with the right attitude then everything will be fine. The right basis is 100 per cent there.”AdvertisementAt the time it sounded wildly optimistic. In fact it proved to be gloriously prophetic.Liverpool are champions of England for the 20th time, bringing them level with Manchester United as the joint-most successful side in English top-flight history, and Arne Slot has taken the fast-track to the pantheon of Anfield greats by inspiring the most remarkable of triumphs.Sunday’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur wrapped up the Premier League title with four games […]

And so, it seemed, Arsenal and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City seemed poised to rule the Prem for the foreseeable future. They’d finished No. 1 and 2 in each of the previous two seasons.
