Blake Snell made his return to the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 11, 2026, after undergoing elbow surgery earlier this season. He pitched six innings, allowing three hits and one run while striking out ten Kansas City Royals batters. The game was tied at one when he exited, and the Dodgers eventually won in ten innings. Snell's strong outing is a boost for the Dodgers' rotation, which includes fellow Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. His return may allow the bullpen to rest and offers time for Shohei Ohtani to recover from injury without rush.
