Blake Snell injury update: Dodgers pitching ace to return after long layoff
Blake Snell is expected to start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 11 after an elbow injury has kept him out of action since early May.
Los Angeles Dodgers' star left-handed pitcher Blake Snell is set to make his return to the mound next week after a lengthy recovery from an elbow injury. According to manager Dave Roberts, Snell is scheduled to start for the team on Tuesday, August 11th. Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, recently completed a minor league rehabilitation assignment with the organization's Triple-A affiliate.
In a recent game on August 4th, Snell pitched 3 and two-thirds innings, striking out three batters in 73 pitches, but also allowed five hits, including two home runs and four walks. Before the 2024 season, Snell signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, joining the team after a stint with the San Francisco Giants. Over his 11-year major league career, Snell has started 223 games with an impressive 81-63 record, a 3.17 ERA, and an MLB record of 11.9 strikeouts per nine innings pitched.
