The Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow has been sidelined with shoulder inflammation after leaving two starts early. With his absence, the team is considering Ben Casparius, who has performed well in relief, as a possible starter. Dave Roberts mentioned the potential for Casparius to stretch into a starting role after showing strong performance in his recent outing. Other candidates include Landon Knack, eligible to return soon despite past underwhelming performances, and Justin Wrobleski, who has limited starting experience. With Glasnow out, the team is faced with critical decisions for their rotation.
"It's a thought," Dave Roberts said. "He gave us four innings today. He's unflappable. He flooded the strike zone. And he saved our tails today."
Another potential option is Landon Knack, who would be eligible to return to the team on May 2 since he was last optioned on April 16.
The first option to replace Glasnow is a familiar one in the pitching talents of Ben Casparius.
After he left consecutive starts due to injury with his most recent outing on Sunday lasting just one inning because of shoulder discomfort, the All-Star will be shelved.
