Glasnow was dealing with side soreness during Friday's Game 6 of the World Series, Fabian Ardaya of The Athleticreports.
Glasnow was called upon to close Friday's contest after Roki Sasaki opened the frame and allowed runners to reach second and third base without getting an out. Glasnow got the job done, getting two outs on three pitches thanks in part to a game-ending double play on a lineout to left field. Glasnow is expected to pitch in Game 7 on Saturday, but the side issue could impact how many pitches he throws. Shohei Ohtani is starting the contest for Los Angeles but probably won't log a full workload given that he'll be working on three days of rest.
Glasnow didn't factor into the decision during Monday's Game 3 of the World Series against the Blue Jays after allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings.
Glasnow looked sharp to begin the outing and retired the side in order in the first inning. He found trouble in the second inning but managed to navigate through traffic by picking off Bo Bichette at first base. Glasnow's disaster inning came in the fourth, when he surrendered a three-run home run to Alejandro Kirk, followed by two singles and a sacrifice fly to plate the fourth run of the frame. The Dodgers were able to battle back and tie the matchup to get Glasnow off the hook for the loss, eventually pushing across the winning run in the bottom of the 18th inning to tie the longest game in World Series history. The right-hander would likely be available to start in a Game 7 if necessary.

Rotowire
Glasnow allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out eight across 5.2 innings in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday against the Brewers. He did not factor in the decision.
Glasnow gave up a pair of hits in the second inning to account for the only run against him, and the only baserunners he allowed thereafter came via walk. He also went through stretches of retiring seven and six consecutive hitters, getting the better end of a pitcher's duel with Jacob Misiorowski. Glasnow has now turned in a 0.68 ERA over 13.1 innings with an 18:8 K:BB this postseason.
Glasnow allowed two hits and three walks while striking out eight across six scoreless innings Thursday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.
Glasnow made a relief appearance in Game 1 of the series, contributing 1.2 scoreless innings in a Dodgers' win. He was excellent in the decisive game Thursday, generating 16 swinging strikes on only 83 total pitches while also not allowing a hit from the second through fifth inning. Manager Dave Roberts said he removed Glasnow due to cramping per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, though it doesn't look likely to affect his status for the NLCS.
Glasnow is expected to pitch between three and five innings in Saturday's start against Seattle, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Glasnow will be held back slightly in his final regular-season start of the year, and his outing will depend on how far he's gotten when he reaches the team's designated pitch count for him Saturday. Andrew Heaney is expected to take the mound following Glasnow and soak up the extra innings that Glasnow would've likely handled.
