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.

Foden is Man City’s star as Livramento becomes Newcastle’s playmaker

Ryan Day, Ohio State Staff Stop Buckeyes From Planting Flag After Michigan Win
Ohio State finally got its revenge against rival Michigan, and Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day made sure it didn’t come with chaos.Last year’s postgame melee in Columbus set the tone for Saturday’s tension. After Michigan planted its flag at midfield, pepper spray was deployed and Buckeye fans hurled obscenities at Day following a fourth straight loss, the rivalry hit one of its ugliest points in recent memory. But this time, with a 27-9 win in hand, Ohio State coaches weren’t about to let anything overshadow a statement victory.Moments after the final whistle, senior cornerback Davison Igbinosun and freshman cornerback Devin Sanchez were spotted carrying a flag toward the Block "M," seemingly ready to return Michigan’s gesture from a year earlier. Before they could take another step, Day and team staff intervened, shouting "No, no, no!" and shutting down the attempt […]

TKV claims British heavyweight title with brutal points win over Clarke
Jeamie TKV defeated Frazer Clarke by split decision to claim the vacant British heavyweight title after a bruising 12-round battle in Derby.TKV weathered Clarke's early bombardment, grew into the contest, and delivered sustained punishment of his own, with a thunderous left hook nearly ending the fight in a remarkable 11th round. The Olympic bronze medallist somehow staggered back to his stool and dug deep into his fighting instincts to prevent his corner from throwing in the towel, valiantly battling through the final round. But TKV, who had a point deducted earlier for repeated low blows, had already inflicted enough damage. Two judges scored the bout 115-113 and 115-112 in his favour, while the third judge had it 115-112 for Clarke.After a draw and a defeat against WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley, Clarke's third attempt at the British title ended in […]
Pittsburgh Steelers Week 13 Preview: A Herd of Buffalo
The Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 season has six games remaining and three of those will be played in Pittsburgh while the other half of the games has Pittsburgh taking to the road. It begins in week 13 of the season with the Buffalo Bills coming to Acrisure Stadium. This game should take the form of a playoff matchup for both teams, as Pittsburgh and Buffalo are not just fighting for a shot at the postseason but possibly winning their respective divisions. Which team is a victory more important for? Certainly, that question should be geared more towards the Steelers. Currently tied with the Baltimore Ravens for first place, Pittsburgh has an extremely crucial game in Baltimore following the Bills game. Buffalo finds themselves two full games behind the red hot first place New England Patriots and how New England has been […]
