Blake Snell set to return as Dodgers seek rotation help

Blake Snell is expected to start for the Los Angeles Dodgers next week after a rehabilitation outing. The Dodgers, who are currently on a six-game losing streak following a 7-6 loss to the Cubs, have struggled with their pitching staff, ranking low in various metrics. Snell has missed three months due to elbow surgery, having previously dealt with shoulder fatigue. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Snell's return is imminent, pending his recovery from the recent outing where he allowed three runs in 3.2 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Dodgers hope Snell's return will stabilize their rotation, which has been underperforming since the All-Star break.
