The Dodgers are facing challenges in their starting rotation with pitcher Blake Snell placed on a 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation. Initially, Snell had no structural damage, and although he experienced lingering discomfort, the team hoped for a quick recovery. After throwing sessions, he was shut down again, prompting a second MRI that revealed no new issues, leading to cautious optimism. Manager Dave Roberts suggested an injection to mitigate discomfort, while maintaining expectations for a relatively short absence from play.
"So at some point I think he'll get an injection to kind of calm it down, and then we'll figure out when we pick up the throwing program," Roberts added.
"I think for us, given the findings of the MRI, that we dodged a bullet."
"The Dodgers remained optimistic his stint on the injured list would not be overly long, and there were discussions of Snell potentially returning without needing a rehab assignment."
"Snell admitted to his shoulder not yet feeling 100%."
