Overview

  • The Dodgers officially activated LHP Blake Snell from the injured list Saturday and optioned RHP Paul Gervase to clear a roster spot.
  • Snell posted a 1.32 ERA with a 24-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 13⅔ innings across four minor-league rehab starts.
  • In his first major-league outing since April 2, Snell struck out eight batters over five innings and was charged with three runs on two homers by Yandy Díaz.
  • Steinbrenner Field’s 314-foot right-field porch turned two softly hit fly balls into a solo and a two-run homer, highlighting the venue’s impact on the game.
  • The healthy return of Snell adds depth to a rotation featuring Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani following the Dodgers’ quiet trade deadline.
