Glasnow is scheduled to make his comeback from a low back spasms injury on Tuesday during the Dodgers' series in Atlanta. Before his injury, he had a 2.72 ERA with 49 strikeouts over 39 2/3 innings in seven starts.
Meanwhile, pitcher Tarik Skubal secured his first win as a Dodger on Saturday. Despite allowing three runs in the first inning, Skubal settled in to strike out 11 batters over seven innings. Outfielder Alek Thomas also made his Dodgers debut, contributing an RBI single.
