Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Blake Snell, the Dodgers' two-time Cy Young Award winner, has been placed on the 15-day injured list with loose bodies in his left elbow. The injury was discovered during catch play on Thursday after his season debut on May 10, where he allowed 4 earned runs over 3 innings against the Braves. Surgery may be required, potentially sidelining him until July or August. Manager Dave Roberts indicated the team is confident Snell will return this season, but the timeline remains uncertain. This marks another significant pitching injury for the Dodgers, following similar issues with closer Edwin Díaz.
