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.

While surgery hasn't been recommended, his availability for the season’s start is uncertain. Cincinnati’s rotation depth could be tested, with Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, Brady Singer and prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder in the mix, and the club signaling no immediate plans to sign additional free-agent starters.

Bryce Harper, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder, left Saturday's game against the Marlins after being hit in his surgically-repaired right elbow by a pitch. Harper was in pain but remained in the game to run the bases before being replaced in the fifth inning. X-rays were negative, but it is unclear if he will play in the next game. The incident is reminiscent of a previous injury that sidelined Harper for two months last year. The Phillies hope that this latest incident does not impact their plans to have Harper return as a first baseman after the All-Star break.
