The Los Angeles Dodgers brought in two-time Cy Young award winner Blake Snell this past offseason on a five-year, $182 million deal. After just two starts in a Dodgers uniform, Snell hit the injured list with shoulder inflammation and was sidelined for four months.
Upon his return, the command and velocity was back up to his usual standards, but Snell recently revealed to the LA Times’ Jack Harris that just a few weeks after his return, he would spend the night in the hospital.
Snell’s wife Haeley gave birth to the couple’s second child at the end of August, and after already feeling “extremely sick,” he later fainted, was taken to the emergency room, and was hooked up to IV fluids for the night.
