洛杉矶道奇队投手Blake Snell在因左肘手术缺阵3个月后成功复出[1]。在对阵堪萨斯城皇家队的比赛中，Snell投6局送出10个三振，仅允许1分3支安打和1次保送[1]。尽管表现出色，但由于道奇队最终以5:4在10局击败皇家队[1]，Snell未获得胜负。
作为两度赛扬奖得主，Snell与道奇队签订5年1.82亿美元合同[1]。本赛季首次先发是5月9日对阵亚特兰大的比赛，当时他投3局失4分[1]。在复出前，Snell进行了小联盟3场复健先发加1场先发，战绩0:0，防御率3.09[1]。此番复出对于此前状态不佳的道奇队而言意义重大——球队在此前10场中输掉8场[1]。
Blake Snell made his return to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers following a three-month absence due to left elbow surgery, delivering an impressive performance against the Kansas City Royals [1]. The two-time Cy Young Award winner struck out 10 batters over six innings while allowing just one run on three hits and one walk [1].
Despite Snell's strong outing, he did not factor into the decision as the Dodgers prevailed 5-4 in ten innings [1]. The return came after Snell's season debut on May 9 against Atlanta, when he lasted three innings and gave up four runs [1]. Prior to his comeback, Snell had completed three minor league rehabilitation starts and one additional appearance with a 0-0 record and a 3.09 ERA [1]. The Dodgers were looking to reverse recent struggles, having lost eight of their previous ten games [1].
Snell signed a five-year, $182 million contract with Los Angeles [1].
