LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Blake Snell will make his season debut for the Los Angeles
Dodgers on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves in a matchup of National League
division leaders.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner is set to rejoin the rotation sooner than
anticipated after teammate Tyler Glasnow left a start early this week because
of back trouble. Glasnow was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with low
back spasms, and Los Angeles recalled right-hander Paul Gervase from Triple-A
Oklahoma City.
Snell missed most of the 2025 regular season because of a lingering shoulder
injury, making just 11 starts after signing a $182 million, five-year contract
in November 2024. But the left-hander went 3-2 in six postseason games to help
the Dodgers win their second consecutive World Series title.
Snell has been on the IL since late March with left shoulder fatigue. He had
been scheduled to make one more minor league rehabilitation start for Class A
Ontario on Saturday, but instead will face the Braves at Dodger Stadium.
Glasnow exited after one inning against the Houston Astros on Wednesday. He had
an MRI that showed "nothing really significant," manager Dave Roberts said
Friday before the opener of a three-game series against Atlanta.
The 32-year-old Glasnow is 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA in seven outings this season.
The 6-foot-10 Gervase, 25, is 2-0 with a 3.65 ERA in nine games for Oklahoma
City this year. He made one appearance for the Dodgers last season, striking
out two batters in two innings. He also pitched in five games for Tampa Bay,
compiling a 4.26 ERA.
