In 10 MLB seasons, he&rsquo;s qualified for the ERA title only twice, and durability has always been a concern, even in his most dominant stretches.

With Blake Snell originally scheduled to pitch Tuesday, the Dodgers have a few in-house candidates to consider:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Justin Wrobleski<\/strong>, a 24-year-old lefty, is coming off an impressive outing for Triple-A Oklahoma City on April 1. He threw 5.2 scoreless innings with just three hits allowed. Wrobleski put up a 3.76 ERA across Double-A and Triple-A last season and boasts a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Landon Knack<\/strong>, 27, also in Triple-A, pitched 4.2 innings in relief on April 3, racking up five strikeouts. He&rsquo;s a more seasoned option and could be a steady short-term plug-in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bobby Miller<\/strong> could&rsquo;ve been a frontrunner, especially after his electric season debut on March 30, but he&rsquo;s lined up to pitch on Sunday and likely won&rsquo;t be available for Tuesday&rsquo;s game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A bullpen game<\/strong> remains a realistic fallback, especially given the Dodgers&rsquo; deep relief corps. Depending on how the next few days shake out, this might be the most convenient path until reinforcements arrive.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/freddie-freeman-injury-update-unexpected-bad-news-for-dodgers-fans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Freddie Freeman Injury Update: Unexpected Bad News for Dodgers Fans<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>The Dodgers are off to a red-hot 9-2 start, the best by a defending champion in recent history.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LHP Blake Snell placed on the 15-day injured list!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":37562,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1025,480],"class_list":["post-37569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-blake-snell","tag-dodgers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Blake Snell Injury Update: What Happened to Dodgers Ace?
