Koda Glover blows second save in one week; dealing with back pain

Koda Glover blew his second save of the week, allowing two runs to score against the Texas Rangers in a game the Nationals ultimately lost. Koda Glover reportedly hid a back issue from his manager and teammates and it is unclear whether or not he will need to spend any time on the DL.
Fantasy Impact:
Glover has struggled since being named the closer for the National, especially of late. The back injury was not at play in the blowup against the Athletics. Nothing about Glover's velocity seemed different against Texas, and that loss spiked his ERA to 5.12. He does not boast elite swing and miss stuff as is, but the control has been impeccable for Glover in 2017. The Nationals bullpen has been a disaster this season and regardless of Gover's injury status, it is likely they bring in outside help during the season via trade. The players they target could shift roles upon their rival making it hard to project the job security Glover has on the role.
