""It's very big," Snell said of facing batters for the first time in his recovery. "Especially big league hitters, and I know Tommy getting in there for the first time was big for him. To get feedback is very important.""
""I feel great," Snell said. "I've done a lot of different things than I did last year when I was in this position, so I feel way better. I'm very excited with how I feel right now and where I'm at.""
""I'm going to have fun, I'm going to be myself. I've got to watch my language though. If my mom sees that ... she probably will.""
Blake Snell started the 2026 season on the injured list due to left shoulder fatigue but is progressing towards a return. He recently threw a simulated inning, facing major league hitters, which he described as a significant step. Snell has improved his health through dietary changes and Pilates. He feels better than last year and is excited about his recovery. He is expected to throw more bullpen sessions before a Minor League rehab assignment, with a return to the rotation anticipated in late May. Snell also apologized for using profanity during a Twitch stream.
