Tyler Glasnow Scratched on Friday With Back Tightness
Tyler Glasnow (back) was scratched from his scheduled start in Friday's series opener against the hosting Baltimore Orioles due to back tightness. The Dodgers' plan is to push Glasnow back "a few days" and have him start "early next week" in a home series against the division-rival Colorado Rockies. In Glanow's place on Friday, two-way star Shohei Ohtani will take the mound after he had his start earlier this week scratched in Pittsburgh due to a minor illness. If the 32-year-old Glasnow is feeling better by early next week, it will definitely be an upgrade in opponent against the worst team in baseball. Glasnow didn't allow more than three earned runs in his five August starts, but he's been a bit wild in his last two outings before his back issues cropped up on Friday.
