"The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to begin their postseason journey on Tuesday with Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series. Because they secured the No. 3 seed in the NL playoffs, the Dodgers will host the third Wild Card team - either the Cincinnati Reds or New York Mets - in a best-of-three at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers head into the short series in a strong position due in large part to a strong stretch of success from their starting rotation."
"Roberts left open the possibility of the right-hander contributing out of the bullpen if necessary, as seen on SportsNet LA: "What it does is it opens up him in the 'pen. I had a good conversation with him. He's ready for whatever we need of him. So to be able to shorten him up, shorten Emmet up, the goal is to get our best 12, 13 pitchers on the roster. That's our plan.""
"Glasnow hasn't made a relief appearance since the 2018 season, when he exclusively pitched out of the bullpen for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Though, he did pitch in relief during a Dodgers exhibition game in Japan this year. While Glasnow is a starter by trade, he could be an effective reliever due to already throwing at a high velocity and with imprssive stuff that should play up even more in short spurts."
The Dodgers will host the No. 3 National League Wild Card team in a best-of-three at Dodger Stadium. Projected postseason starters likely include Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell, leaving Tyler Glasnow's role uncertain. Manager Dave Roberts indicated Glasnow is ready to help in relief to allow roster flexibility and to shorten other starters like Emmet Sheehan. Glasnow has not made a relief appearance since 2018 but did pitch in relief during a Dodgers exhibition in Japan and could see his high-velocity stuff play up in short stints. Glasnow missed time in 2025 with right shoulder inflammation but produced a 4-3 record, 3.30 ERA, 3.82 FIP and 1.09 WHIP in 17 starts.
