Blake Snell is returning to pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers after a three-month layoff caused by a left-elbow injury. The injury is described as loose bodies, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicates Snell is projected to throw roughly 75–80 pitches in his first outing back.
Snell has had limited time this season. He has made one start, against Atlanta on May 9, when he allowed four runs and six hits over three innings, before being placed on the injured list four days later. With his return, the Dodgers plan to manage his workload as he comes back from the elbow issue.
Across the reports provided, the central points align on the timing of the return, the nature of the elbow problem, and the expected pitch count for his comeback appearance.
