On Sept. 14, the Los Angeles Dodgers endured a 10-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on the road. It was one of the team’s most lopsided losses of the season, and their fourth loss over their last five games at the time. It wasn’t even the Dodgers’ biggest loss of the day.
On that day, the Dodgers announced that starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow, the team’s Opening Day starting pitcher and one of their prized offseason pickups, would likely be out for the season. Glasnow landed on the injured list because of his injured elbow on Aug. 16, but there was belief that he would return for the postseason before the ruling that day.
