Blake Snell Set to Face Live Hitters
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) threw bullpen sessions on Friday and Sunday, and he will progress to facing live hitters this week, manager Dave Roberts told Adrian Medina of Roundtable Sports. Snell hasn't pitched in an MLB game since the World Series last November due to left shoulder fatigue, but it sounds like he's getting closer to a return. Although he was limited to just 61.1 innings over 11 starts last year, he was effective when healthy, posting a 2.69 FIP with 10.57 K/9 and 3.82 BB/9. The Dodgers have no reason to rush Snell back, especially given the dominant state of their rotation at the moment. When he's activated from the injured list, he'll join a unit that already includes Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, and Emmet Sheehan. Snell currently ranks #65 among starting pitchers in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.
