          The Los Angeles Dodgers placed two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation.

          Snell went 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in his first two starts for the Dodgers this season.

          The World Series champion Dodgers signed the left-handed Snell to a $182 million, five-year contract in the offseason. He won Cy Young Awards in 2018 with Tampa Bay and in 2023 with San Diego.

          The Dodgers recalled right-handed pitcher Matt Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday to take Snell's spot on the roster ahead of their game against Philadelphia.
