STATUS UPDATE: Will not return when first eligible on May 22 — back spasms haven't responded as hoped. MRI was clean but the Dodgers are playing it cautious with October in mind. No new timeline; realistic return early June at the earliest.

NEW: 15-day IL with low back spasms. Pitched only 1 IP Wednesday before being pulled with the back tightening up. MRI came back clean — no structural concern. The Dodgers are playing the long game with October in mind; expected to miss only one or two starts but no firm timeline given. Snell activated to fill the rotation spot tonight.

NEW: Exited Wednesday's start vs. Houston after 1 inning with lower back pain. Felt his back 'gave out' warming up for the 2nd. MRI scheduled when the team returns to LA. Roberts said no IL stint expected; Glasnow described it as a spasm. Was 2-0 with a 2.72 ERA before exiting.

Started @ Houston Astros (3W-0L, 2.56 ERA)

Started vs Miami Marlins (3W-0L, 2.45 ERA)

Started @ Colorado Rockies (1W-0L, 4.00 ERA)
