"The Dodgers (23-14) showed life in the series finale on Wednesday in Houston, putting up 12 runs led by three homers. Tyler Glasnow left the game after one inning with a back injury that has now landed him on the IL, but the bullpen held it down with eight innings of one-run ball for a 12-2 win. It helped salvage a tough road trip that began by losing a series in St. Louis, and now the Dodgers return home for a seven-game homestand."
"They welcome Atlanta for the weekend, as the Barves bring in a team tied for the best record in baseball at 26-12. They just suffered their first series loss of the season, dropping two of three in Seattle.

"The Dodgers switch up their lineup a bit against . Andy Pages moves up to cleanup with Kyle Tucker dropping to sixth in the order. Miguel Rojas and Santiago Espinal get the starts against a lefty. Atlanta made a minor change to their original lineup, swapping Mauricio Dubon and Michael Harris II's positions. -- A couple big injury updates for the Dodgers, starting with Blake Snell."
"Can confirm that Blake Snell is starting tomorrow (Saturday) for the Dodgers rather than make a final rehab start. @ByJackHarris was on that 1st.We'll see what this means for the rest of the rotation.- Sonja Chen (@SonjaMChen) May 8, 2026 Snell was lined up to make his final rehab start with OKC tomorrow, but now he'll get the ball for the Dodgers. Snell maxed out at 55 pitches/4 innings in his three rehab starts and was scheduled to go five innings in his next start, so that'll probably be the goal for tomorrow. Either way, he'll be a nice addition to the rotation with Glasnow's injury. Which speaking of, Paul Gervase was activated."
