Shohei Ohtani Starts for Tyler Glasnow, Max Muncy Begins Rehab, & More Injury News!

In this pregame episode of the All Dodgers podcast, Jeff Snider delivers important updates centered around the Dodgers’ pitching and injury situation ahead of their game against the Baltimore Orioles. The primary news is the scratching of starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow due to back tightness, a recurring issue that raises some concern given his injury history. Shohei Ohtani is set to start in Glasnow’s place, although he is expected to have a limited outing of three to four innings due to a recent illness that caused him to miss a start. The podcast also provides updates on other key injured Dodgers players including Max Muncy, Tommy Edman, Will Smith, and several pitchers on rehab assignments or sidelined for the season. There is optimism about the possible return of some players like Muncy and Edman in the coming weeks, which could bolster the struggling Dodgers offense and improve defensive alignment. The bullpen is expected to be heavily relied upon in today’s game, but the Dodgers remain favorites to win despite the pitching shuffle. Additional mentions include the ongoing management of Will Smith’s hand injury and the status of several pitchers unlikely to return this year. The episode concludes with encouragement to follow the Dodgers community on social media and the podcast’s Discord server for more real-time updates and discussions.
