Dodgers' Postseason Plans Hinge on Snell's Groin Health
Blake Snell exited after one inning with left groin tightness in a 6-2 loss to the Reds, casting doubt on his availability for the Dodgers’ postseason. With a history of groin issues, the team classifies the injury as tightness and will reassess with imaging before deciding on his next start. Los Angeles must balance upside in a deep rotation (including Skubal, Yamamoto, Glasnow) with contingency plans like Roki Sasaki as they push toward clinching the division and a first‑round bye. Snell hopes to make another regular-season appearance, but his health will largely dictate October rotations and bullpen strategy.
