Dodgers hesitate on Blake Snell's activation despite pitching needs

The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to manage a six-man rotation while awaiting the return of pitcher Blake Snell, currently on rehab for elbow surgery. Snell, who has undergone a procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, has made progress and is nearing a return. After his latest minor league start on August 4th, the team will assess Snell's readiness to be activated likely during their homestand starting August 10th against the Kansas City Royals. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that they are being cautious before making a final decision on Snell's activation.
