The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> are in the business of making sure their entire roster is as healthy as possible headed into October.<\/p>\n

Considering LA has already clinched the NL West, the team is now just a couple of wins away from gaining a first-round bye in the playoffs, which would be ideal in their three-peat pursuit.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Dodgers endured a slight injury scare with Blake Snell<\/a>, who removed himself from a first-inning start against the Cincinnati Reds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the injury isn\u2019t considered to be serious, and manager Dave Roberts provided a status update on Snell before game one of the Dodgers\u2019 current series with the San Diego Padres<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Manager Dave Roberts noted on Tuesday afternoon that Blake Snell will start for the Dodgers on Saturday of this upcoming weekend.<\/p>\n

Snell was seen throwing a bullpen on Tuesday afternoon, and when he did have to exit his last start, it wasn\u2019t thought to be serious.<\/p>\n

However, with Blake Snell, injury concerns are always a possibility (as the case with every pitcher), but it\u2019s good news that he\u2019s already being announced as an upcoming starter this weekend.<\/p>\n

Dodgers Have Been Without Blake Snell For Much of 2026 Season <\/p>\n

Blake Snell has been dealing with some injuries throughout much of the 2026 season, but the good news is he\u2019s back for MLB playoffs. <\/p>\n

If you remember the 2025 World Series run, Blake Snell was so dominant in the NL Wild Card, NLDS, and NLCS rounds of October. <\/p>\n

If Blake Snell is healthy, the Dodgers form one of the best starter trios in the sport with Tarik Skubal<\/a> and Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> pitching alongside the 2X CY Young award winner in Snell. <\/p>\n

His start on Saturday will go a long way in determining Snell\u2019s postseason status. Either way, the Dodgers are primed to earn a first-round bye, and they will be a very tough out if the rotation is lined up how manager Dave Roberts and company want. <\/p>\n
