Dodgers Manage Snell Injury, Sasaki Rehab, and Chelsea Ownership Move
The Dodgers were dealt a scare when Blake Snell left his Cincinnati start with a left groin tightness that the club calls precautionary; he hopes to make another start before the regular season ends as L.A. pushes for a top-two seed and a playoff bye, with a rotation likely led by Yamamoto and Skubal and Snell serving as a potential third starter. Roki Sasaki has returned from a blister and is being assessed for his postseason role, with placement in the rotation or bullpen still undecided. In other news, Mark Walter and Todd Boehly sold their Chelsea FC stake to Clearlake Capital for about £950 million, a move Dodgers ownership says won’t affect payroll or the team’s status. Meanwhile, Wrobleski and Knack will start the next Dodgers game, with Miller optioned down as the club weighs weekend rotation plans around Glasnow, Skubal, and Yamamoto.
