Dodgers Close to Securing Tyler Glasnow in Yamamoto Pursuit

Nevertheless, Glasnow’s postseason statistics have not been impressive, posing a potential vulnerability for the Dodgers. Their aspirations for the 2023 postseason were dashed by lackluster performances from their starting pitchers in the divisional round against the Diamondbacks.

During Game 2 of the 2023 ALDS series

Glasnow pitched 5.0 innings, yielding six hits, three earned runs, five walks, and recording eight strikeouts. In his 10 playoff appearances throughout his career, Tyler Glasnow holds a 2-6 record, a 5.72 ERA, and has accumulated 61 strikeouts.

If the Dodgers manage to acquire Glasnow, it could address some deficiencies in their tumultuous starting rotation. The team’s ace is currently dealing with a shoulder injury, raising uncertainty about his return. Additionally, Julio Urias, a Dodgers starter, has been put on administrative leave by MLB due to an ongoing domestic violence investigation.

In contrast, Glasnow is in the process of recovering from a season plagued by injuries, including a Grade 2 strain of his left oblique. During the 2023 season, he participated in 21 games, boasting a 10-7 record with a 3.53 ERA and 162 strikeouts.

The report also highlights another player, Margot, who is coming off a relatively average year. He posted a .264 batting average with 82 hits, four home runs, 38 RBIs, and 39 runs scored in 99 games.

However, Glasnow’s postseason struggles have become a potential hurdle for the Dodgers, dimming their hopes for a successful 2023 playoff run due to lackluster performances from their starting pitchers in the divisional round against the Diamondbacks.

In Game 2 of the 2023 ALDS series, Glasnow pitched for 5.0 innings, allowing six hits, and three earned runs, issuing five walks, and notching eight strikeouts. Over his 10 playoff appearances, Tyler Glasnow holds a record of 2-6, an ERA of 5.72, and has accumulated 61 strikeouts.

As MLB teams focus on constructing competitive rosters, Glasnow is slated to face tough competition from formidable pitchers like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, and Corbin Burnes.
