Dodgers place Blake Snell on the 15 -day injured list

The dodgers placed the left -hander Blake Snell On the 15 -day injured list due to inflammation in his shoulder. The placement is retroactive until April 3. Dr PRESUR Matt Sauer was called from Triple-A to take the place of Snell on the active list.

Despite eight walks in nine work rounds this season, Snell emerged with an MPM of 2.00 during its first two departures of the season. It seems that this shoulder issue developed between Snell’s last outing on April 2 and an enclosure session of the readers today, while Jack Harris of La Times reports that Snell spoke with GM Brandon Gomes and the team coach Thomas Albert following the LEVEUR INCLOS.

This is the tenth visit to the injured list, Snell has resumed its 10 MLB seasons, and today’s news continue its career theme both health problems and start to the season. Snell is a bit sadly famous for a slow starter, with an MPM of 3.95 of 555 2/3 career sleeves before the stars break, then an MPM of 2.32 in 500 sleeves during the second halves of seasons.

Despite this, there are few launchers in the game better than Snell when it is in great shape, as evidenced by its two Cy Young prices. The 2024 campaign was another example of Snell’s hot and cold trends, because it signed with the Giants at the end of spring training and then spent a large part of the first three months injured or in difficulty, until the Switch turned and Snell posted an MPM of 1.23 on its last 80 images of the season.

Snell was sufficiently encouraged by this spectacular finish to withdraw from the last season (and 30 million dollars) from his contract with the Giants, and this decision proved to be Sage, because Los Angeles signed Snell to a free agent agreement of $ 182 million over five years. The contract is worth “only” about $ 160 million to $ 165 million in current value, because $ 65 million in SNELL’s salary are deferred, but it still represented the long -term salary that escaped Snell during his previous free agency trip.

The fact that Snell has already taken it back to it will bring you new questions about the investment of the Dodgers, but there is no indication that the inflammation of Snell de Snell is something serious. This leaves the dodgers in a slightly delicate place when it comes to filling Snell’s rotation point, because Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki are both used only once a week, reproducing the standard use of a Japanese pitching rotation. Landon Knack, Justin Wrobleski and Bobby Miller are the most likely candidates to receive a triple-a discovery and at least one place begins in Snell’s place.
