With Blake Snell likely out after elbow surgery and Edwin Díaz sidelined, the Dodgers must rely on a record-breaking payroll to weather injuries, possibly resorting to bullpen games and deeper leverage while stars like Ohtani, Betts, Freeman and Muncy try to carry the offense through July and August.
Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list with loose bodies in his left elbow after feeling discomfort while playing catch; surgery is likely and the timeline is unclear, potentially yielding a late July/early August return. The setback complicates a rotation already thin with Tyler Glasnow out, prompting the Dodgers to recall Charlie Barnes and consider bullpen days or a six-man rotation while they decide on next steps.
The Dodgers placed left-hander Blake Snell back on the injured list with loose bodies in his throwing elbow, backdated to May 12, after a brief return from the IL in which he faced limited action. Charlie Barnes was recalled in a corresponding move. Snell had been activated May 9 following a shoulder fatigue stint and completed brief rehab starts before a late elbow issue was identified; there is no immediate surgery plan, though he previously had elbow surgery in 2019, and a return is expected before season’s end with timing still uncertain.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will reinstate left-hander Blake Snell from the 15-day IL to start Saturday, marking his season debut after shoulder fatigue. Coming off a rehab assignment, Snell is expected to be limited to roughly 75 pitches, and his return prompts a rotation shakeup as the team weighs how to fit him in with Glasnow, Ohtani, Yamamoto, Sheehan, Wrobleski and Sasaki. The move also raises questions about Glasnow’s status, with possibilities ranging from IL placement to a skipped start.
Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow exited in the second inning against the Astros with low back pain, just after recording his 1,000th career strikeout. If the injury sidelines him, Los Angeles could turn to Blake Snell (on a rehab assignment) to anchor the rotation, with potential call-ups from Triple-A as backups.
Dodgers say Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch in the 2026 World Baseball Classic due to insurance constraints and will serve as a DH for Team Japan, with him still aiming to be ready to pitch by Opening Day. Blake Snell is taking a deliberate offseason approach to build strength after shoulder inflammation in 2024–25, with plans to be ready for Opening Day and backups like Sasaki or Emmet Sheehan ready if needed. Tommy Edman is recovering from ankle surgery, facing an uncertain Opening Day as he progresses from ligament repair and bone spur removal and hopes to return to form, though his speed and baserunning recovery have lagged. The Dodgers are weighing rotation depth, likely using more than five starters to cover potential injuries and workloads.
