​Blake Snell will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, and the Los Angeles Dodgers expect the two-time Cy Young Award winner to return this season. Snell made his season debut last weekend, giving up four earned runs in three innings after missing the start of the season with left shoulder fatigue and inflammation, and the left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. The surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. "It’s going to be to take out those loose bodies, and it’s supposed to be a lot quicker recovery, so we’re encouraged about that," manager Dave Roberts said Saturday before the second game of the three-game Freeway Series at Angel Stadium. Snell missed most of the 2025 regular season because of a shoulder injury, which limited him to 11 starts, but he was able to make six appearances in the playoffs. Snell had a 3-2 record in the postseason to help the Dodgers to a second consecutive World Series title. Snell’s latest injury was discovered on Thursday, and Roberts indicated the 33-year-old could undergo a similar procedure to what Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal recently had in an effort to expedite his recovery. Skubal had a more aggressive type of minimally invasive surgery on May 6, which allowed him to resume playing catch and soft tossing just over a week later. Roberts indicated it was too early to have a timetable for Snell’s return to baseball activities, but "I think just with the MRI, the scans and everything, we feel good about getting back to play sooner than later," he said. The Dodgers are already without closer Edwin Diaz, who had surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow in April, and starter Tyler Glasnow is on the injured list because of back spasms.

​Cristopher Sánchez struck out a career-high 13 while picking up the second shutout of his career as the Philadelphia Phillies drilled the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on Saturday. Sánchez (5-2), the National League Cy Young runner-up a year ago, allowed five hits and didn't issue a walk while extending his scoreless streak to 29 2/3 innings, dropping his ERA to 1.82. Bryce Harper smashed a 457-foot three-run homer off the batter's eye in the first inning off Bubba Chandler (1-5). Trea Turner and Alec Bohm had two hits apiece. Kyle Schwarber, baseball's leading home run hitter, added an RBI single as the Phillies gave Sanchez an early five-run lead and cruised. Philadelphia improved to 14-4 over its last 18 games to return to .500 (23-23) and made bench coach Dusty Wathan a winner during his managerial debut. Wathan filled in for Don Mattingly while Mattingly attended his son's college graduation. One night after the Phillies rallied from six down to stun Pittsburgh in extra innings, Sanchez made sure no comeback was needed. He retired the first 11 batters he faced and never really ran into trouble until the ninth inning, when the Pirates put runners on first and third with one out. With a reliever warming up in the bullpen, Sanchez struck out Marcell Ozuna to reach 13 strikeouts for the first time and then retired Nick Yorke on a groundball to end it. While Sanchez was crisp, Chandler was not. The hard-throwing 23-year-old, considered an important part of Pittsburgh's future, continued to struggle with his command. Chandler issued four walks in his three innings of work, pushing his total on the season to a major league-leading 31. And when Chandler did find the strike zone, Schwarber and Harper made him pay. It took Philadelphia all of three batters to take control. Turner led off with a single. Schwarber walked, and Harper followed with his 11th homer of the season, a monster shot that made the significant chunk of the PNC Park crowd who made the five-hour drive across the state roar with approval. Up next The series wraps up on Sunday when reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes (6-2, 1.98 ERA) starts for Pittsburgh against Philadelphia's Zack Wheeler (2-0, 2.55).

​Aaron Rodgers' decision for the 2026 season is in. The future Hall of Fame quarterback will sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, ESPN reported Saturday. Rodgers' deal will include $22 million in guaranteed money, and potentially allow him to earn up to $3 million more in incentives, according to NFL Media. Rodgers' agreement with the Steelers will reunite him with his former head coach, Mike McCarthy, as he prepares for his 22nd season in the NFL. Rodgers, 42, had spent the offseason flirting with retirement, and was initially expected to make a decision around the NFL Draft in April, but the wait continued. Now, he reunites with McCarthy, who was his coach for 13 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, for the 2026 season. Rodgers initially signed with Pittsburgh in June of last year following his 13 seasons with the Packers. After Year 1, the veteran quarterback finished the 2025 season with an AFC North title, 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Rodgers will lead a quarterback room with Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and rookie quarterback Drew Allar from Penn State. As the Steelers look to win the division for a second year in a row, some aren't as bullish that they can do that, even with Rodgers returning. Following Thursday's schedule release, our Ralph Vacchiano predicted that the Steelers would go 8-9 in 2026 under the presumption that Rodgers would be their quarterback. Vacchiano believes that the "Steelers' season is riding on the old shoulders of Aaron Rodgers." "Whoever their quarterback is will immediately have a tougher challenge if Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow can stay healthy, making the AFC North games much more of a minefield," Vacchiano added. "The Steelers also have to go on the road to New England and Philadelphia, and even their trip to Jacksonville won’t be easy. Playing the NFC South and AFC South gives them plenty of soft spots in the schedule. But finishing first last season gave them their division’s toughest schedule. Given their fragile state, stuck between contending and rebuilding, that’s not much of a prize." Vacchiano also had the Steelers drop to No. 25 in his most recent power rankings after Thursday's schedule release. "Seven of their last nine games are against teams projected to win 9-11 games. Aaron Rodgers’ 42-year-old body should be aching pretty good by then," Vacchiano wrote. Still, McCarthy had expressed a desire for Rodgers to return to Pittsburgh for a second season so he could reunite with the quarterback. "It would be a great story," McCarthy said back in March. "I don't know — and I would love to tell everybody about breaking news, but it's really cool to see Aaron at [age] 42. To see a young man at 22 and all of what he's been able to accomplish and where he's at in his personal life and trying to make this decision. I think he's in a really good place." The Steelers now have their 2026 quarterback with Rodgers returning, and will look to defend their AFC North title and head back to the Playoffs in Year 1 of the McCarthy era. Read More
