Glasnow needed just three pitches to record a save during Friday night’s battle and the expectation is that he was going to be available out of the Dodgers’ bullpen for multiple innings if needed on Saturday. How this side issue changes that plan is unknown at the moment. It’ll be another wrinkle to work through during a do-or-die Game 7 for the World Series title on Saturday evening in Toronto.

In case of emergency, break Glasnow. With runners on second-and-third with nobody out, Glasnow was able to get Ernie Clement to pop up meekly to Freddie Freeman, and then he induced a double play on a lineout and a horrific baserunning mistake by Addison Barger. All of that happened in just three pitches, so there’s a very good chance that Glasnow will still take the ball against Max Scherzer in Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday.

Glasnow kept the Blue Jays off the scoreboard until Alejandro Kirk smacked a three-run homer to left-center field a couple batters after a costly fielding error by second baseman Tommy Edman on a potential double-play ball. He managed to limit the damage any further after André Giménez tacked on another run in the frame with a sacrifice fly. He struck out five and issued three walks. The 32-year-old righty would likely get the ball to start a winner-take-all Game 7, if the series gets to that point.

Shohei Ohtani will then follow him once again in Game 4. Glasnow was terrific his last time out, allowing just one run while punching out eight batters over 5 2/3 innings against the Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS. He holds a minuscule 0.68 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and an 18/8 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings of work during the postseason.

Glasnow and Brewers fireballer Jacob Misiorowski locked horns in a throwback pitcher’s duel in the late-afternoon shadows at Dodger Stadium. The hard-throwing 32-year-old gave up a run-scoring single to Jake Bauers in the second inning, which accounted for the lone run against him. He got an outstanding defensive play from third baseman Max Muncy to cut down a run at the plate later in the frame and keep the contest tied. He was lifted from the contest at 99 pitches (59 strikes) after issuing a two-out walk to Andrew Vaughn in the sixth. He piled up 14 swinging strikes and lowered his playoff ERA to a microscopic 0.68 in the process. He’s in line to start a potential winner-take-all Game 7 showdown, if necessary.

Roberts added that Glasnow would be in line to start a potential winner-take-all Game 7 showdown with Ohtani could be available out of the bullpen. Glasnow struck out eight over six shutout frames in last Thursday’s NLDS-clinching win over the Phillies. Ohtani last took the ball for Game 1 of the NLDS when he posted nine strikeouts over six strong frames. The tandem will take the ball later this week when the best-of-seven series shifts to Los Angeles.

Glasnow benefitted greatly from the late-afternoon shadows at Dodger Stadium in the early stages of the contest, limiting Philadelphia’s formidable lineup to just a pair of hits and a trio of walks while needing just 83 pitches (55 strikes) to navigate six frames. The hard-throwing 32-year-old righty generated 16 swinging strikes and finished with an elite 40 percent CSW before turning things over to Los Angeles’ bullpen in a scoreless stalemate. It’s possible he’ll be available in relief in the early stages of the NLCS given Los Angeles’ starting pitching depth, but he figures to make a traditional start at some point in the series.

Glasnow threw 34 pitches in relief of Shohei Ohtani during Saturday’s series-opening comeback victory in Philadelphia and should have plenty of rest before taking the ball again on Thursday in Los Angeles, if necessary.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Shohei Ohtani will start in Game 1 for the Dodgers with Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto expected to work in Games 2 and 3 respectively. That means the earliest that Glasnow would pitch would be in Game 4 in Los Angeles on Thursday, so it makes sense that he would be available to work a few innings if needed behind Ohtani this weekend.

The Dodgers said before the game that this would be a short one for Glasnow. He’s expected to be in the pen for the Wild Card series, though he’ll probably go back into the rotation if the Dodgers advance.

Glasnow gave up four hits and three walks before finally finishing the first. It looked like it’d be a quick one for him at that point, but he was fine afterwards and wound up with seven strikeouts while throwing 101 pitches. He’s won three starts in a row this month, and he’s slated to face Seattle in his final postseason tuneup.

Glasnow punched out four batters on the afternoon while issuing four walks. The lone tally against him came on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Casey Schmitt in the second inning. The Dodgers staked him to a big early lead in this one, so all Glasnow had to do was keep the train on the tracks to pick up a victory. He generated nine whiffs on 108 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 26 percent. Now 3-3 on the season, he’ll bring a 3.06 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 96/38 K/BB ratio (82 1/3 innings) into Saturday’s rematch against the Giants in Los Angeles.

Glasnow almost got the Andy Hawkins tribute (look it up, kids), as the Dodgers trailed 1-0 despite Glasnow not allowing a hit in his return to the rotation. The only run came on a sac fly from Kyle Farmer in the second inning, and from that point on he dominated the lowly Colorado lineup while generating 15 swings and misses on his 105 pitches. Glasnow will get a chance to build on this impressive effort — assuming everything checks out well from this start — when he faces the Phillies on Monday.

Glasnow has been cleared to take the ball on Monday night in Los Angeles after undergoing precautionary imaging last week to rule out any structural issues after being scratched from Friday’s start against the Pirates due to back stiffness. The 32-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter should benefit from an extremely favorable home matchup against a strikeout-prone Colorado lineup that typically struggles away from high-octane Coors Field.

Glasnow underwent additional evaluation and testing that cleared him of any structural issues after being scratched from Friday’s start against the Pirates due to back stiffness. The fact that he’s expected to take the ball again so quickly, especially considering how complex back issues tend to be, is an extremely encouraging sign for the Dodgers and fantasy managers.

Glasnow was scratched from his scheduled start on Friday after experiencing stiffness in his back, but after being examined he was cleared of any serious injuries. Look for him to be slotted in either on Sunday or early next week against the Rockies.

The Dodgers made a late change and went with Shohei Ohtani for Friday’s series opener against the Orioles when it was supposed to have been Glasnow getting the ball. Now we know why. It doesn’t sound like anything overly serious, and Roberts said he’s hopeful Glasnow will be able to start within the next few days. It’s a situation that fantasy managers should definitely monitor.

Glasnow allowed one hit through six scoreless innings before the seventh started with a homer, two doubles and a sac fly. He certainly deserved better than falling to 1-3 with a 3.41 ERA, but that’s just the kind of malaise the Dodgers are in lately. He’ll face the Giants next.

Glasnow struck out three batters on the night. He struggled badly with his command, throwing only 47 of his 83 pitches for strikes and routinely working behind in the count. All of the scoring done against him came in his final frame on a two-run single by Ramon Laureano and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Jake Cronenworth. The 32-year-old hurler got six whiffs on 83 pitches on the evening, posting a CSW of just 19 percent. He’ll attempt to bounce back as he carries a 3.36 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 75/32 K/BB ratio (61 2/3 innings) into Saturday’s divisional battle against the Diamondbacks.

Glasnow punched out eight batters on the afternoon while allowing just one base on balls. He allowed an RBI double to Fernando Tatis Jr. in the third inning and served up a solo homer to Ramón Laureano in the fifth. The 31-year-old right-hander generated 14 swings and misses on 91 pitches on the day — nine of those on his slider — while posting a CSW of 33 percent. He exited with a 4-2 lead and in line for his second victory of the season, but the Dodgers’ bullpen couldn’t hang on for him. He now sports a 3.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 72/28 K/BB ratio over 57 2/3 innings through his first 12 starts on the season. Glasnow will square off against these same Padres his next time out in San Diego on Saturday.

The 31-year-old right-hander racked up eight strikeouts on the afternoon while issuing four free passes. He allowed an RBI double to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the opening inning, then kept the Jays’ off the board until Ty France chased him with a two-out, RBI single in the sixth inning. He exited with a 3-2 lead and in line for his second victory of the season, but the Dodgers’ bullpen couldn’t hang on for him. Glasnow got 13 swings and misses on 86 pitches on the night — seven of them on his fastball — while posting an elite CSW of 37 percent. He’ll bring a strong 3.08 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 64/27 K/BB ratio (52 2/3 innings) into Sunday’s matchup against the Padres.

This was originally supposed to be Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but Yamamoto will get an extra day of rest. Glasnow was excellent in his last outing and has pitched well since coming off the injured list, but has been given zero run support as seen in his 0-1 record since being reinstated.

Sonny Gray matched him precisely. Glasnow has allowed exactly one run in four of five starts since coming off the injured list, but he has an 0-1 record to show for it. His only win in 10 starts to date came way back on March 31, when he shut out the Braves for five innings in his season debut. He’ll hope for some better luck next Monday against the Angels.

Thanks to a couple of double plays, Glasnow opened up with three scoreless innings. Still, he didn’t look as sharp as he did in previous couple of starts, and the Reds got to him for two homers in the fourth. He then loaded the bases with no outs before being lifted in the fifth, and he was fortunate only one of the runners wound up scoring. It went as Glasnow’s seventh no-decision in nine starts this season. Most of those have been good starts, but this is his second stinker, to go along with the April outing he left injured. He’ll face the Cardinals next week.

Glasnow has thus far proven to be worth the wait, as he’s allowed only two earned runs in three starts since coming off the IL. Alas, none of those outings have resulted in victories. He could have had one after leaving with a 2-1 lead today, but the Dodgers blew it in the eighth before winning the game in the ninth. Glasnow will probably make his next start next Wednesday against the Reds.

Glasnow allowed an RBI double to Caleb Durbin, and that was enough to qualify for a loss with Quinn Priester shutting out the Dodgers on Friday. It was still an impressive outing for the right-hander that saw him punch out six against one walk with 12 swings and misses generated. Glasnow has looked good in his first two starts since returning from the 60-day injured list, and should be able to keep up the good work against the Twins on Wednesday.
