Blake Snell's return to Dodgers rotation is impacting Roki Sasaki
"The left-hander initially was scheduled to pitch for Single-A Ontario in what was going to be his fourth rehab outing amid a target of stretching out to four innings. Snell's rehab assignment instead came to a close at four runs allowed (three earned), and 10 strikeouts against just two walks in eight innings pitched across three starts. He pitched once for the Tower Buzzers and made a pair of starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City."
"Heading into the weekend, Dodgers pitching probables were Emmet Sheehan, Roki Sasaki and Justin Wrobleski. As Snell was working toward his activation, it sparked plenty of debate over what the Dodgers would decide with their six-man rotation. That of course was assuming full health. Manager Dave Roberts previously declined to predict how it would all unfold, but now with Snell back, there's some clarity. Overall, he easily slots into the rotation because of Glasnow's injury."
"In terms of the weekend series against the Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers are electing to keep Wrobleski lined up for the series finale. Roberts said Sasaki in turn will likely start Monday in the series opener against the San Francisco Giants. Roberts added the Dodgers have not yet decided on whether or not Glasnow will go on the injured list. He said an MRI did not reveal anything "really significant.""
Blake Snell’s rehab plan was adjusted after Tyler Glasnow suffered a back injury. Snell was originally set to pitch for Single-A Ontario for a fourth rehab outing targeting four innings, but the assignment ended after eight innings across three starts. He allowed four runs, including three earned, with 10 strikeouts and two walks. He pitched once for the Tower Buzzers and twice for Triple-A Oklahoma City. With Snell returning, he fits into the rotation because Glasnow is injured. For the weekend series versus the Atlanta Braves, Justin Wrobleski starts the finale, while Roki Sasaki is expected to start Monday against the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers have not decided whether Glasnow will go on the injured list, though an MRI showed nothing really significant.
