Despite Glasnow’s absence, the Dodgers’ rotation has performed well, posting a 1.99 ERA over the period since May 13 and going 17-5. The current six-man rotation features Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, Justin Wrobleski, Emmet Sheehan, and Eric Lauer, with Lauer and Sheehan the most likely candidates to be moved out when Glasnow and Blake Snell return. The extended shutdown raises the possibility of pursuing a veteran starter at the trade deadline, with Tarik Skubal among the linked targets.
Key takeaways:
– Glasnow placed on the 60-day IL; Nick Frasso added to the 40-man roster.
– Dodgers’ rotation has thrived in Glasnow’s absence (1.99 ERA since May 13; 17-5 record).
– Potential trade deadline strategy could include pursuing a starter to bolster the rotation once Glasnow and Snell rehab is complete.
