"Left-hander Blake Snell (shoulder) is pain-free and starting his throwing program, with the goal of throwing from a mound in some capacity this week. Snell throwing off a mound would represent a major checkpoint in his recovery. He would then have to throw bullpen sessions, face batters and potentially complete a Minor League rehab assignment before returning to the Dodgers."
"I think he's working through it in the sense that, last year, he was on a new team. He pushed through things to start the season healthy, which is understandable, and you learn from it. He was never right all year."
Blake Snell continues his recovery from a left shoulder injury that resurfaced during the 2025 postseason after he pitched 34 innings across six playoff appearances. The injury caused him to miss four months during the regular season. Snell reported to Spring Training behind schedule without a normal offseason throwing program but has made steady progress, advancing to long toss. He is now pain-free and scheduled to throw off a mound this week, representing a major checkpoint in his recovery. Before returning to the Dodgers, he must complete bullpen sessions, face batters, and potentially a Minor League rehab assignment. Manager Dave Roberts indicated it is unlikely Snell will pitch in a Cactus League game this year. Snell is committed to ensuring complete health before pitching in games, learning from last season when he pushed through discomfort.
