Welcome to The California Post’s weekly Dodgers recap, where baseball writers Dylan Hernández and Jack Harris review the week that was, hand out very official awards and take stock of the state of the season.
Tyler Glasnow (2 starts, 15 innings, 1 run this week; 3-0, 2.45 ERA on season)
The Dodgers have been talking about Yoshinobu Yamamoto as arguably one of the game’s best pitchers since last postseason. They spent much of the spring imagining howShohei Ohtanicould also compete for aCy Young Awardin his return to full-time pitching.
This week, however, another of the team’s rotation anchors entered the mix for early-season Cy Young contention.
With a seven-inning, one-run start in Colorado, then ascoreless eight-inning gemin San Francisco, Tyler Glasnow was not to be forgotten.
“For me, he’s going to be in that conversation,” manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s going to be fun to watch him this year.”
So far this season, Glasnow has elevated his game mentally and strategically.

The mentality part was on display during his outing in Colorado on April 17, when he navigated frigid conditions during his first career start at hitter-friendly Coors Field.
“You’re not going to feel great every outing,” Roberts said. “There’s going to be stress, there’s going to be things that you can’t control and you got to be able to manage it. And I think now he’s equipped mentally to do that, to go along with this stuff.”
