Snell didn't factor in the decision in Game 2 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Sunday. He gave up a run on three hits with five strikeouts and five walks over 3.2 innings.
The left-hander certainly wasn't at his best and needed 90 pitches to record just 11 outs, but he was able to limit the damage to one run in vintage Snell fashion. The 33-year-old made just nine starts during the regular season due to shoulder and elbow issues, but he was effective when healthy with a 1.90 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 55:16 K:BB across 42.2 innings. Snell's next start isn't likely to come until the NLCS, should the Dodgers advance, since Tarik Skubal is lined up for a potential Game 5 versus Atlanta.
Muncy is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Sunday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Muncy opened the playoffs by going 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's series opener, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with lefty Ray Kerr starting for Atlanta. Miguel Rojas will step in at the hot corner for Los Angeles in Game 2., with Muncy expected to enter once righty Grant Holmes enters for Atlanta, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com.
Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Postseason return not ruled out
Rotowire
President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Saturday that Treinen (shoulder) hasn't been ruled out for a return in the postseason, Jon Paul Hoornstra of Newsweek.com reports.
Treinen landed on the injured list at the end of the regular season due to right shoulder inflammation, but Friedman said that the 38-year-old's injury isn't severe enough to require surgery. His availability for future postseason series (if the Dodgers advance) will likely depend on how quickly he recovers, but there's still a chance he can aid Los Angeles' bullpen as the team pursues a third consecutive World Series title.

Dodgers' Josue De Paula: Listed on NLDS roster
Rotowire
De Paula is listed on the Dodgers' roster for their National League Division Series against Atlanta.
The 21-year-old outfielder spent time with the Dodgers near the end of the regular season while Shohei Ohtani was on the injured list. De Paula showed during his stint with the big club that his bat is already capable of handling MLB pitching, as he slashed .323/.500/.581 with a homer, seven RBI, 7 runs scored an an 11:5 BB:K across 42 plate appearances. However, the Dodgers already have an abundance of firepower in their lineup, so De Paula will almost certainly be limited to a bench role during the NLDS.
Skubal will start Game 1 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The Dodgers have an embarrassment of riches in their rotation, and they'll opt for Skubal over Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 1. Presumably, Yamamoto will take the ball in Game 2, with Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow lurking. Skubal made 10 starts for the Dodgers after landing in Los Angeles at the trade deadline, logging a 2.61 ERA and 70:13 K:BB across 62 innings.
Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Feeling good after live BP
Rotowire
General manager Brandon Gomes said Tuesday that Henriquez (back) is "trending really well" after throwing an encouraging round of live batting practice, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Henriquez ended the regular season on the injured list due to a low-grade back strain, but because the Dodgers have a bye during the wild-card round, he'll have time to heal before the team begins its postseason run. The 24-year-old righty still has a few boxes left to check off, but assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks during his remaining workouts, he'll likely be included in the Dodgers' NLDS roster.
