Blake Snell Placed on Injured List with Elbow Issue

Blake Snell's recent injury woes continue as he lands back on the injured list with loose bodies in his left elbow. This comes shortly after his return from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the first six weeks of the season. Snell made only one start, lasting three innings and allowing four earned runs against the Atlanta Braves, before the elbow issue was detected.

The Dodgers' pitching rotation is now significantly impacted, with both Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the IL. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that all options are on the table regarding Snell's treatment, including potential surgery. The team had been utilizing a six-man rotation to protect their starters, including Shohei Ohtani. With Snell and Glasnow sidelined, the rotation now consists of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Ohtani, Emmet Sheehan, Justin Wrobleski, and Roki Sasaki.

Possible replacements for Snell include River Ryan, currently at Triple-A, and Jackson Ferris, the club's No. 8 prospect. Charlie Barnes has been recalled and could serve as a temporary stopgap in the rotation.
