Snell (3-1) allowed five hits and two walks while striking out three over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Padres on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Snell has allowed zero runs over his last two outings, adding a 13:5 K:BB across 11 innings in that span. Control is often a concern for Snell, but he's been effective in managing the traffic on the basepaths since returning from a shoulder injury. Overall, he has a 1.80 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over 25 innings through five starts this season. Snell is projected to make his next start in a rematch with the Padres in San Diego next week.

Snell (2-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing three hits and three walks over five scoreless innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out 10.

EDGE Analysis

Snell tossed five scoreless innings and notched his first double-digit strikeout game since joining the Dodgers. While the southpaw has issued at least three walks in three of his four starts this season, he has managed to remain effective throughout his career despite command issues. Limited to 19 innings this year due to left shoulder trouble, Snell owns a 2.37 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 22:11 K:BB.

Snell (1-1) took the loss Saturday as the Dodgers fell 4-0 loss to the Rays, giving up three runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out eight without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first big-league start since April 2 due to shoulder trouble, Snell pitched well and generated 19 swinging strikes over 82 pitches (57 total strikes), but the Dodgers offense couldn't solve Drew Rasmussen and the Rays bullpen. Yandy Diaz proved to be the southpaw's nemesis in this one, taking him deep in the first and third innings. A healthy Snell would give the Dodgers' rotation a huge boost for the stretch run, and the team plans to deploy a six-man rotation to try and keep him -- as well as Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw -- on the mound. As a result, Snell lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Blue Jays.

The Dodgers reinstated Snell (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After spending four months on the injured list with left shoulder inflammation, Snell will officially return to a big-league mound Saturday. The 32-year-old southpaw posted a dominant 1.32 ERA and 0.95 WHIP alongside a 24:5 K:BB through 13.2 innings during his four-start rehab assignment. He'll return to face a Rays lineup that's struggled to the tune of a .658 OPS since the All-Star break, though the Dodgers may look to limit Snell's workload during his first start back. Paul Gervase was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Snell (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start against the Rays on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snell has been on the shelf since early April due to left shoulder inflammation. He steadily progressed through his throwing program and was effective during his rehab assignment. He most recently pitched for Triple-A Oklahoma City this past Saturday, when he threw 76 pitches across 4.2 scoreless innings. After a four-month absence, Snell has finally been given the green light to pitch Saturday against his former team, though he's still likely to have some minor workload limitations.

Snell (shoulder) tossed 4.2 scoreless innings in a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, allowing four walks and giving up zero hits while striking out seven batters.

EDGE Analysis

Snell was a bit wild in the outing, as he threw just 40 of 76 pitches for strikes while issuing four free passes. However, he was otherwise dominant, racking up seven punchouts without yielding a hit. Given that he was able to ramp up his pitch count within the range of a light starter's workload, it seems likely that Snell's next outing will come in the majors. If that's the case, his return to the Dodgers' rotation could come next weekend against his former team, the Tampa Bay Rays.

Snell (shoulder) is slated for a minor-league rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday and is aiming to throw about five innings or 75 pitches, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snell has already completed three rehab outings, compiling a 2.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB over nine innings. He worked up to 58 pitches across four frames in his most recent appearance Sunday, marking his longest rehab start to date. Saturday's outing with OKC could be his final one before he's activated off the injured list, as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday, "Once we get through that, there will be a real discussion on if he should join us or do another one."

Snell (shoulder) tossed four innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six batters.

EDGE Analysis

Snell's third rehab outing was his longest to date -- he completed two frames in his first start and three innings in his second. The left-hander threw 58 pitches (38 strikes) Sunday, so he's getting closer to logging a starter's workload. Despite a long layoff (his most recent MLB outing was April 2), Snell has been very effective during his rehab stint, giving up just two runs while posting a 17:1 K:BB over nine innings. He could be back with the Dodgers before the end of July.

Snell (shoulder) struck out seven and allowed one earned run on three hits and zero walks over three innings in a rehab start Tuesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

EDGE Analysis

Because the Florida and Arizona Complex Leagues are the only minor-league affiliates in session during the All-Star break, Snell moved down to rookie ball for his second rehab outing after he previously made a two-inning start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga last Thursday. The veteran southpaw tacked on an inning to his workload Tuesday and settled into a groove toward the end of his start, retiring nine of the final 10 batters he faced. Snell will likely move up to a higher-level affiliate for his third rehab outing, and he may require just one more start in the minors after that before making his return from the 60-day injured list.

Snell (shoulder) completed two shutout innings while allowing one hit and striking out four in a rehab outing with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was Snell's first rehab outing and he threw 31 pitches, 23 of which went for strikes. The expectation is that he will require three or four total outings prior to activation, so a return in late July or early August looks realistic.
