Blake Snell Returns for the Dodgers After a 3-Month Elbow Injury Layoff
Blake Snell is set to return after four rehab starts, while Tarik Skubal will make his Dodgers home debut after a trade from Detroit.
- On Tuesday, two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell will return to the Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation against the Kansas City Royals, manager Dave Roberts announced Friday.
- Snell underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow after his May 9 start, landing him on the 60-day injured list before completing four rehab assignments.
- Recently acquired lefty Tarik Skubal will make his home debut for the Dodgers on Monday against the Royals, one day before Snell's return, following his trade from the Detroit Tigers last week.
- These arrivals bolster a rotation featuring Roki Sasaki and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, while Tyler Glasnow remains on the injured list and Shohei Ohtani's pitching timeline remains unclear.
- The pitching reinforcements arrive as the Dodgers seek to end a six-game losing streak, aiming to stabilize the starting staff during their 2026 season push.
