Opening Day Not a Target for Blake Snell
The Athletic's Katie Woo writes that Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell's (shoulder) Opening Day status is "in doubt." There is no real update on him, other than he's throwing off flat ground in camp. "Time's ticking, but like I told him the other day, Opening Day is not necessarily a hard and fast target for us," manager Dave Roberts said. Snell, 33, missed four months in 2025 due to left-shoulder inflammation and admitted that he was exhausted after an extended postseason run in October, which is why the Dodgers aren't making it a necessity that he be fully stretched out for Opening Day. Even if Snell were to land on the injured list to begin the regular season, it would likely be a short stay on the sidelines. The two-time Cy Young winner was solid when available for the Dodgers last year, going 5-4 with a 2.35 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 72:26 K:BB, but he only made 11 starts in the regular season. Snell is a risk/reward No. 3 fantasy starting pitcher because of his injury history.
