The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of the top teams in baseball. However, over the last 48 hours they received some bad news on the injury front. On Friday according to Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors, Dodgers closer Evan Phillips of Salisbury, Maryland will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and a significant portion of 2026 with Tommy John Surgery. Then on Saturday according to Mark Polishuk, Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow of Newhall, California will miss another month as he recovers from right shoulder inflammation. Glasnow has been sent to the 60 day injury list, and could return to the Dodgers by the end of June as he has not been on the mound since April 27. Both Glasnow and Phillips received World Series rings from the Dodgers as they played with the Dodgers during the 2024 regular season.
