Tyler Glasnow was placed on the injured list Monday with what the Dodgers described as shoulder inflammation, joining fellow frontline starter Blake Snell, who has been sidelined by a similar injury.

Sure, Los Angeles still has an elite trio of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, and Dustin May, but losing Glasnow is a devastating development. The 6-foot-8 star was having a fine start to his second Dodgers campaign, with a 4.50 ERA, a 5.38 FIP, and a 23-to-11 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 18 innings.
