“Depth Dilemma: How the Dodgers Crumbled Without Snell in Shocking Defeat to the Nationals”
“Obviously, losing Blake for whatever period of time, certain guys are going to get opportunities,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “You want them to try to not to put too much pressure on a particular outing and go out there and compete.”
The good news for the Dodgers: They shouldn’t be without Snell for long.
Though the left-hander said he had been pitching through shoulder discomfort for the last three weeks (including during his first two starts of the year, when he logged just nine total innings while walking eight batters and giving up seven runs; albeit only two earned), an MRI scan showed no structural damage in Snell’s shoulder. A meeting with head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday confirmed that Snell will not need an injection or any other medical intervention, either.
