The Dodgers, 16-6 after a four-game split with the Colorado Rockies, will welcome Snell back into a rotation that could use reinforcements. The team will begin a new series against its division rival on Tuesday, and Snell’s progress could help bolster depth behind current arms like Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan, and Justin Wrobleski.
Since signing a five-year, $137 million deal with the Dodgers before the 2025 season, Snell has made 11 starts for Los Angeles, producing a 2.35 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 62.1 innings pitched.
In the postseason, Snell has been a force, logging 82.2 total playoff innings with 102 strikeouts and 30 earned runs allowed, good for a 3.27 ERA. His track record in October underscores his status as a high-impact pitcher when healthy and on schedule.
Off the field, Snell is a two-time Cy Young winner—2018 with the Rays and 2023 with the Padres—who also holds ERA titles in those campaigns. Across 222 career starts, he has posted a 3.15 ERA, having pitched for the Rays, Padres, Giants, and now the Dodgers. His best seasons have highlighted his dominance, with the occasional tougher year (notably 2019) kept to a relative minimum in a career defined by high-end upside.
Looking ahead, a healthy Snell would provide a significant boost to Los Angeles’s rotation as the team continues its pursuit of strong finish and depth for a deep October run. The ongoing rehab updates will be watched closely as the Dodgers balance reinforcements with their current pitching workload.
