Key Points:
- The Dodgers have reinstated Blake Snell from the 60-day injured list, and he will start tonight’s game against the Royals, with Michael Wacha pitching for Kansas City.
- Snell returns after a three-month absence caused by shoulder fatigue and an elbow issue requiring surgery, opting for the NanoNeedle procedure to expedite recovery.
- The Dodgers are currently enduring a rough stretch, losing seven straight games and going 2-7 since early August, but remain comfortably positioned for a playoff berth and aim to have Snell fully healthy for October.
- The team will use a six-man rotation including Snell, with Eric Lauer, Tarik Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Justin Wrobleski, and Roki Sasaki also in the mix, while Tyler Glasnow’s return is pending from a back injury.
- Blake Treinen was transferred to the 60-day injured list as a procedural move due to elbow inflammation, with his return timeline uncertain as he has not yet started a rehab assignment.
