Los Angeles Dodgers star right-hander Tyler Glasnow departed a shutout one pitch into the fifth inning Sunday at the Texas Rangers, but manager Dave Roberts said postgame that he doesn't expect Glasnow to miss time.

Glasnow was seen limping after recording his fifth strikeout of the game during the fourth inning, and Roberts and the team trainer checked on him on a mound visit.

Then, the 2024 All-Star was lifted after throwing his first pitch of the fifth, and the Dodgers later termed his ailment as lower leg cramps.

Roberts told reporters postgame that he expected Glasnow to make his next scheduled start, April 27 at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

As for Sunday, six relievers followed Glasnow to complete a 1-0 shutout victory of the Rangers. Glasnow finished with three hits, one walk and six strikeouts in four-plus innings. The Dodgers took two of three from Texas, both wins via shutout.
