"The Los Angeles Dodgers brought in two-time Cy Young award winner Blake Snell this past offseason on a five-year, $182 million deal. After just two starts in a Dodgers uniform, Snell hit the injured list with shoulder inflammation and was sidelined for four months. Upon his return, the command and velocity was back up to his usual standards, but Snell recently revealed to the LA Times' Jack Harris that just a few weeks after his return, he would spend the night in the hospital."
"Snell finished the regular season with a 2.35 ERA across 11 starts, but took things to another level in the postseason. He carried a 0.86 ERA through his first three postseason starts in a Dodgers uniform, but didn't get the defending champions off to the best start in the World Series. Snell went five innings during Game 1 of the Fall Classic against the Toronto Blue Jays, striking out four, walking three, and allowing five earned runs off eight hits."
Blake Snell signed a five-year, $182 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He made two starts before landing on the injured list with shoulder inflammation and missed four months. Upon return, his command and velocity improved. A few weeks later he was hospitalized after fainting following his wife's childbirth and received IV fluids overnight. He returned to the rotation a few days later and called the season the hardest of his career. Snell posted a 2.35 ERA in 11 regular-season starts and carried a 0.86 ERA through his first three postseason starts. In World Series Game 1 he allowed five earned runs in five innings.
