The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed starting pitcher Blake Snell on the injured list with shoulder inflammation, the team announced Sunday. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers have called up right-hander Matt Sauer.
Snell lands on the IL after he made two starts for the Dodgers in his first season with the team. Snell started the franchise's home opener 10 days ago, allowing five hits, two earned runs and four walks while striking out two in a 5–4 win over the Detroit Tigers. He made his most recent start on Wednesday, giving up five hits, no earned runs, four walks and striking out two over four innings in a 6–5 win over the Atlanta Braves.
