Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell has been placed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation, the team announced on Sunday. The move is retroactive to April 3.
In his two starts this season, the left-hander has compiled a 2.00 ERA, allowing two runs and seven hits in nine innings. However, Snell has also walked eight batters, indicating that something may not have been right at this early stage of the season.
Snell threw his regularly scheduled bullpen session between starts. But something appeared to be wrong, as he talked to trainer Thomas Albert and general manager Brandon Gomes afterward, according to the Los Angeles Times' Jack Harris.
