Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell will return from the injured list Tuesday to start against the Kansas City Royals, manager Dave Roberts said Friday, according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com.
Snell hasn't pitched since May 9 after undergoing arthroscopic elbow surgery.
The two-time Cy Young winner has made one start this year, as he began the 2026 campaign on the sidelines with shoulder fatigue. He's logged only 12 regular-season starts since joining the Dodgers on a five-year, $182-million contract in November 2024.
Snell's return gets Los Angeles' vaunted rotation closer to full health. The team is still waiting for Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow to join a group led by newcomer Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The Dodgers still lead the NL West by 8.5 games entering Friday's action despite their pitching injuries.
