12 Aug
Summary
- Blake Snell returns from injury for his second start of 2026.
- Michael Wacha, an All-Star, will pitch opposite Snell.
- The Dodgers seek their first series victory since early July.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are scheduled to play the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night, with the primary goal of winning the series. This marks a significant moment as the Dodgers aim to secure their first series victory since early July. Blake Snell, a left-handed pitcher, is set to make his second start of the 2026 season after recovering from shoulder inflammation and subsequent elbow surgery.
Snell's return is a boost for the Dodgers as they approach the latter part of the season and the postseason. He will be countered by veteran right-hander Michael Wacha, who has had a strong season, earning his second career All-Star selection. Wacha has maintained an impressive ERA, particularly in his starts since the All-Star break, indicating solid form.
The Dodgers' lineup sees some adjustments, with certain players getting days off to manage performance. The first pitch is scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, at 7:10 p.m. PT / 10:10 p.m. ET, with broadcast coverage on SportsNet LA and the MLB app, as well as radio on AM570 and KTNQ 1020 AM.
