The Dodgers and manager\u00a0Dave Roberts placed Snell on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>But has Snell&#8217;s upper body injury left an imprint on his early debut with the Dodgers?<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old has started in a pair of games already. Snell made his L.A. debut on March 27 against the Detroit Tigers. He pitched in five innings, surrendering five hits. Snell struck out two batters and allowed two runs.<\/p>\n<p>He recently took the hill against the Atlanta Braves on April 2. The former San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays pitcher again surrendered five hits. This time the Braves scored all five runs on Snell. He also allowed five hits and fanned two batters.\u00a0Snell and the Dodgers, however,\u00a0watched Shohei Ohtani blast the winning walk-off home run to complete the 6-5 comeback win.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers currently sit at 9-2 overall. The defending champs took in a visit to the White House Monday, with\u00a0Roberts earning a new title. Los Angeles starts a three-game road series against the Washington Nationals. Snell, though, won&#8217;t be involved in the pitching rotation as he nurses his shoulder for the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell endured a negative\/positive effect with his latest ailment.
