Overview
- Snell left Wednesday's start after one inning and 19 pitches after feeling a "grab" in his left groin during bullpen warmups, and he reported discomfort through pregame and the first inning.
- Manager Dave Roberts and team trainers called the move precautionary and described Snell's status as day-to-day while they evaluate him over the next few days.
- Snell's early exit forced the Dodgers to use six relievers in a 6-2 loss to the Reds, which prevented the club from clinching the NL West that night.
- The left-hander has a history of groin and adductor strains with IL stints in 2021, 2022 and 2024 and earlier this season missed time for left shoulder inflammation and May elbow surgery.
- Dodgers roster changes for the short term include Justin Wrobleski starting the next game, Landon Knack being recalled and Bobby Miller optioned, and the club said it may push or skip starts to protect Snell for October.
