Tyler Glasnow took another step in his rehab assignment Sunday night, working 2 2/3 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on the road against the Salt Lake Bees.
The Dodgers right-hander threw 47 pitches, struck out two, and gave up one run on one hit and one walk. That run scored on a wild pitch in the first inning. Both baserunners he allowed stole second base, one in each of the first two innings.
Glasnow’s stuff was still there. He averaged 95.9 mph on his 17 four-seam fastballs and generated five swinging strikes. He also made his first start on four days’ rest since July 23, 2025 with the Dodgers.
This was Glasnow’s second minor league rehab start of the week. On Tuesday, pitching for Class-A Ontario, he needed just 16 pitches to get through two innings, and manager Dave Roberts said that day at Wrigley Field in Chicago that Glasnow finished a third simulated inning in the bullpen after that outing.
The Dodgers’ plan is to build Glasnow up to at least four innings before deciding whether he’s ready to return to the major league rotation. His last start for Los Angeles came May 6, and he’s been sidelined the past three months with back spasms.
The rehab work has also lined up Dodgers starters against other big league arms. Glasnow faced Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove on Tuesday with Ontario, while Nick Pivetta also pitched for Lake Elsinore later in that game. Blake Snell, in his final rehab start on Tuesday, matched up against Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, who started again Sunday against Glasnow.

Dodgers Prospects Are Heating Up And Sunday Made That Clear
The Dodgers farm system spent Sunday showing exactly why it keeps drawing attention, with impact performances spread across Triple-A Oklahoma City, Double-A Tulsa, High-A Great Lakes and Class-A Ontario. Eduardo Quintero provided one of the days biggest swings for Great Lakes, turning in a game-winning two-run home run, while James Tibbs, Alex Thomas and Josue De Paula were among the other names helping keep the minor league pipeline looking active and productive.
For an organization that leans heavily on internal development, days like this matter because they offer a snapshot of who is forcing the issue and who is building momentum at the right time. The recaps across the levels also underscored how broad the talent base looks right now, with contributions coming in different ways and at different stops, even as each affiliate continues working through its own results and individual stat lines.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Is Forcing A Real Cubs MVP Debate
The National League MVP race has become more interesting than anyone around the Dodgers probably expected this late in the season. Shohei Ohtani has still been the center of the conversation, but Pete Crow-Armstrongs rise has given the Cubs a legitimate challenger in a debate that once looked much more straightforward. For Los Angeles, it is another reminder that Ohtani is being judged not just on the familiar force of his bat, but on the broader value he brings when he is fully doing both jobs.
What keeps this from feeling settled is the pitching angle, which hangs over Ohtanis case as the schedule winds down. Bob Nightengales read is that the outcome could turn on whether Ohtani gets back on the mound before the regular season ends, a wrinkle that would give voters another way to separate him from Crow-Armstrong. Until that becomes clear, the race remains open enough to keep both fan bases watching every update with real interest. [Read more 🡒]
