The Los Angeles Dodgers are taking precautionary measures with pitcher Blake Snell, who is experiencing discomfort in his shoulder after recently playing catch. According to manager Dave Roberts, Snell's well-being is crucial for the later part of the season, prompting the team to "slow-play the throwing." Snell has been on the injured list since early April due to left shoulder inflammation and is under consideration for further imaging. The 32-year-old two-time Cy Young award winner has struggled with injuries throughout his career, having only exceeded 130 innings in a season twice.
The Dodgers are planning to "slow-play the throwing" with Snell, as the team's priority is to keep him healthy for later in the season.
Part of the messaging from us to Blake is, it's about later on in the season," Roberts said, emphasizing the importance of not fighting through discomfort.
Snell, 32, acknowledged lingering shoulder pain, stating, "When I play catch, I don't feel it. When I get out here, I'm good."
