Key takeaways

  • Blake Snell is expected to come off the injured list and start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, in lieu of making another rehab appearance, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday.
  • Snell, 32, began the season on the injured list with lingering left shoulder fatigue but has made three minor league rehab starts, most recently completing four innings for the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate on Sunday.
  • Snell's return could force the Dodgers into a difficult decision between Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan and Justin Wrobleski for their sixth and final rotation spot, but Tyler Glasnow's status could change that.

Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
