Two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell is expected to make his return from the injured list when the Los Angeles Dodgers host the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old has struggled with injuries, including shoulder fatigue and elbow surgery, making just one start this season. Despite these setbacks, he played a crucial role in the Dodgers' second consecutive World Series title last season.

Manager Dave Roberts also announced that recently-acquired lefty Tarik Skubal will make his home debut on Monday against the Royals. Skubal, the two-time defending Cy Young winner in the American League, was acquired from the Detroit Tigers in a trade deadline blockbuster last week.

These returns come at a critical time for Los Angeles. The Dodgers have lost a season-high six games in a row heading into their matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
