Blake Snell’s debut season with the Los Angeles Dodgers has been hampered by health issues following a five-year, $182 million contract. After only two starts, he was placed on the injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. While there’s no structural damage, Snell faced recovery setbacks requiring further treatment. Although he’s currently completing bullpen sessions and showing promise, he’s not yet ready to face hitters. His previous injury history includes multiple IL stints due to adductor strains but mainly avoids serious arm injuries, which raises concerns about his durability moving forward.
But things have not gone according to plan as Snell made just two starts before landing on the injured list on April 6 due to left shoulder inflammation.
Snell has since been playing catch and throwing bullpen sessions on a regular basis.
The more encouraging news is Snell is throwing his entire pitch mix in bullpen sessions.
Blake Snell has a lengthy list of injuries, but he has been mostly free of arm issues aside from undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow.
