Blake Snell has been activated from the injured list and is set to start Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. His return comes after a shoulder injury sidelined him since April 2. Snell has made only two starts this season, yielding two earned runs and eight walks over nine innings. The Dodgers signed him to a five-year, $182 million contract, expecting significant contributions to their pitching rotation as they aim for World Series success.
Snell, 32, hasn't pitched since April 2 after dealing with a shoulder injury early in the year. Snell made just two starts this season for LA - allowing two earned runs with eight walks over nine innings - before being shut down.
With a guy that's enjoyed that much success, usually in major league free agency, you're buying the back-side of a guy's career, the accomplishments that they have had. With Blake, one thing that's really exciting for us is, for as much success as he's had, we feel like there's more in there and a lot of upside.
