Blake Snell, the Los Angeles Dodgers' left-handed pitcher, has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation, missing at least two starts. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Snell experienced soreness during a recent bullpen session. Landon Knack is positioned as a potential replacement starter for the upcoming game against the Nationals. With 12 pitchers currently on the injured list, the teamâs offseason focus on pitching depth is being tested. A reevaluation of Snell will occur before any decisions regarding his return are made.
"He started his bullpen and experienced some soreness," manager Dave Roberts said. "We just felt right there, you're going to miss a start. We can backdate the three days."
"One day, you feel good with where you're at, and then the next day you're scrambling a little bit," Roberts acknowledged. "That's part of the marathon of a major-league season."
"I think (he will miss) two starts," Roberts said. "If you're going to go on the IL, certainly where we're at in the season, two is the floor and we'll see from there."
