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 because of left shoulder fatigue and inflammation, and the left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Friday against the Los Angeles Angels.

The surgery is scheduled for Tuesday.
