LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers activated left-handed pitcher Blake Snell from the injured list, optioned left-handed pitcher Charlie Barnes and transferred right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen to the 60-day injured list.
Snell, 33, will make his second start of the season after being sidelined since May 12 with loose bodies in his left elbow. In his lone start this season on May 9 against the Braves, he went three innings, allowing four runs on six hits. He made 11 starts for the Dodgers in 2025, posting a 2.35 ERA with a 1.255 WHIP in 61.1 innings. He helped the Dodgers to their ninth World Series Championship, recording three wins and 3.18 ERA in six postseason games, including eight scoreless innings in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. He is in his 11th Major League season with stops in Tampa Bay (2016-20), San Diego (2021-23), San Francisco (2024) and Los Angeles (2025-), and he is 81-63 with a 3.17 ERA in 223 starts. The two-time Cy Young Award winner was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays (52nd overall) in the 2011 First Year Player Draft out of Shorewood High School (Wa).
Barnes, 30, was added yesterday but did not appear in the game. He went 0-1 with a 6.30 ERA in four appearances for the Dodgers. He has been in the Majors parts of two seasons with the Minnesota Twins (2021), Chicago Cubs (2026) and Dodgers (2026), recording an 0-4 mark with a 6.18 ERA in 51 innings. In six minor league seasons, he owns a 30-26 record with a 3.94 ERA and 403 strikeouts in 456.2 innings. He was a fourth-round draft pick by the Minnesota Twins in the 2017 First Year Player Draft out of the University of Clemson.
