The Los Angeles Dodgers faced an early setback after they were forced to pull out Tyler Glasnow after just one inning. The right-hander exited Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros due to lower back pain.

Glasnow gave up a home run in his first inning and trouble was sensed during the warm-up pitches for the second inning. He called upon Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and the training staff. Upon brief discussion, it was decided to pull the pitcher from the game.

The Dodgers called the bullpen for Jack Dreyer, who handled things on the mound from there.

After the 11-2 win, Glasnow spoke about his back spasms, revealing that he has been carrying this issue since his high school days. The 2024 All-Star went to William S. Hart High School in Santa Clarita, California.
