Overview

  • Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation, retroactive to April 3, 2025.
  • The Dodgers' offseason acquisition had started the season strong, posting a 2.00 ERA across his first two games.
  • Matt Sauer has been called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill Snell's roster spot, but the team currently lacks clear starters for their next two games.
  • The Dodgers are exploring additional options from Triple-A, including pitchers Landon Knack, Bobby Miller, and Justin Wrobleski, to address the rotation gap.
  • Snell, signed to a $182 million, five-year contract in the offseason, is expected to miss at least the remainder of the Dodgers' current homestand.
