Tyler Glasnow moved to 60-day injured list, Dodgers add Nick Frasso to 40-man roster

LOS ANGELES — It’s been one month since Tyler Glasnow’s last start, and now it will be at least one month until he pitches again for the Dodgers. The right-hander was moved to the 60-day injured list on Saturday, as his back issues have proved to be a larger setback than originally thought.

Glasnow left his start on May 6 in Houston after only one inning, and two days later was placed on the 15-day injured list with back spasms. Last weekend, Glasnow was throwing in the outfield but was unable to throw anywhere near top speed. Manager Dave Roberts at the time said Glasnow was in a holding pattern, and now his throwing has been shut down.

“He’s not playing catch. It’s the back spasms, and obviously with the back he’s been limited,” Roberts said Saturday. “He wants to get cranking again, but the doctors aren’t allowing for it and the body’s not allowing for it right now.”

Procedurally, the earliest Glasnow could be activated is July 6, but there are several steps needed to even get to that point.

Glasnow to the 60-day injured list made room for right-hander Nick Frasso to be added to the 40-man roster. Frasso was on a minor league deal and exercised an upward mobility clause in his contract, per Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic and Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, meaning had the Dodgers not added him to the roster Frasso could have become a free agent.

Frasso, 27, has a 4.85 in 11 relief appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, with 24 strikeouts (a 38.7-percent strikeout rate) and 10 walks in 13 innings.

Frasso was on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster in both 2024 and 2025, but was not called up. He missed the entire 2024 campaign after shoulder surgery and a hip procedure that spring training. Last year he switched to relief and had a 5.49 ERA with 68 strikeouts and 42 walks in 77 innings for Oklahoma City. He did amass two days of service time by getting recalled on the penultimate day of the season to be placed on the 60-day injured list, making roster room for Andrew Heaney.

The Dodgers non-tendered Frasso in November, then re-signed him to a minor league pact in December that included a non-roster invitation to spring training.

Frasso will remain with Oklahoma City, just now on the 40-man roster.
