Dodgers Notes: Snell, Sasaki, Walter
The Dodgers got a bit of a scare when Blake Snell left tonight’s start in Cincinnati after one inning. The team announced that he’s dealing with left groin tightness. It doesn’t appear to be a serious issue. Dylan Hernández and Jack Harris of The California Post reported that it was a precautionary removal and that Snell […]
Braves Outright Bailey Falter
The Braves sent left-hander Bailey Falter outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. That was expected when Atlanta designated him for assignment on Monday. Falter has more than three years of service time and can technically elect free agency. It’s likelier he’ll accept the assignment, as he’d otherwise be leaving the final couple […]

Jameson Taillon Seeking Additional Opinions On Elbow, Won’t Return This Season

Joc Pederson Attempting To Play Through Hand Fracture
Joc Pederson has a small fracture in his left hand, reports Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
