Dodgers LHP Blake Snell Scratched From Start vs. Angels

  • On Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers scratched starting pitcher Blake Snell from his scheduled appearance against the Los Angeles Angels. Right-hander Will Klein will instead open the bullpen game, marking the first start of his major league career.
  • Snell rejoined the Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation last Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, allowing four earned runs over three innings. Reports indicate this scratch is unrelated to his left shoulder fatigue from late March.
  • Entering the game with a 2.76 ERA across 12 appearances, Klein faces Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. Kochanowicz holds a 2-2 record with a 3.97 ERA over eight starts this season.
  • Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts return to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup for this Rivalry Weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels. The Dodgers enter at 26-18, while the Angels hold a 16-28 record.
  • First pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers versus Los Angeles Angels series opener is scheduled for 6:38 p.m. PT. The game will be broadcast on SportsNet and Angels Broadcast Television, with radio coverage on AM570.
