Blake Snell Struggles in Season Debut After Returning From IL

Reinstated from the injured list on May 9 following left shoulder fatigue, Blake Snell struggled in his season debut against the Atlanta Braves. Snell allowed five runs (four earned) over three innings in a 7-2 loss. While the team hoped for a strong return, the outing was effectively an extension of spring training for the left-hander. The Dodgers' offense provided little support, scoring only two late runs as Snell was unable to find his rhythm in the high-profile contest.
