Yet many fans have presented two questions: When will Blake Snell return and how soon before Tarik Skubal starts on the mound again? “Blake Snell will make his return to the Dodgers rotation on Tuesday,” Nightengale posted on X, formerly Twitter. But Skubal will see action again before Snell, per Dodgers insider Dylan Hernandez of the California Post. Snell went 5-4 as a starter in his first Dodgers season, striking out 72 before winning his first World Series title. Now both Snell and Skubal will play a key role in the upcoming Royals series.
