Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow pitching status tonight gets last-minute injury update

The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to have every pitcher available for Game 7.

That's what manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Saturday night's game.

There might be a kink in that plan at the last minute, though.

On the Fox pregame show, Tom Verducci said that Tyler Glasnow is dealing with side soreness.

"Tyler Glasnow was dealing with side soreness last night, per Tom Verducci on the FOX pregame show just now," wrote The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya on X. "Unclear how it affects how much the Dodgers can go to him tonight in Game 7."

Glasnow entered Game 6 in the bottom of the ninth inning with runners on second and third and no out. The Dodgers were up 3-1.

They somehow won 3-1, and Glasnow threw just three pitches. The game ended on a line-drive double play to left field that doubled a runner off second.

It seemed perfect for Glasnow. It left him almost full strength for Game 7 availability.

But if he's hurting, it's not clear how much Glasnow might be able to give the Dodgers.

With all hands on deck, the Dodgers could choose to be cautious rather than bring a less-than-ideal version of Glasnow into the game.

But he's also an overpowering, imposing pitcher, and coming out of the bullpen, he can let it rip even more than usual.

Whether or not Glasnow gets in will reveal a lot about how much pain he really is or isn't in.
