Dodgers’ Blake Snell Provides Update on Injury Recovery

"I think sometime in San Diego is the plan,” Snell said on Dodger Talk with David Vassegh. "They’ll let me know, and I’ll be ready. I’m just excited. I’m throwing, and there’s no pain. I can actually be excited for something. It’s going to come and happen soon."

Before the injury, the two-time Cy Young Award winner made two starts, allowing two earned runs over nine innings. However, he struggled with command, issuing eight walks while recording just four strikeouts. Snell later admitted he had pitched through shoulder discomfort, initially brushing it off as normal wear and tear.

He has since resumed playing catch from flat ground, and the upcoming bullpen session would be his first off a mound since April.

Snell is among 15 Dodgers pitchers currently on the injured list, including Tyler Glasnow, who suffered soreness after a recent bullpen session, according to manager Dave Roberts. While the team has not set an official timeline for Snell’s return, the Dodgers are hopeful he can return sooner rather than later.

In the meantime, Los Angeles will host the New York Mets, with Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin scheduled to toe the slab in games two and three of the four-game series.
