June 28, 2025 1:20 AM : Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said earlier this week that Snell (shoulder) is "probably not" close to facing hitters, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Snell took a step forward recently when he began using his full pitch mix during bullpen sessions, but Roberts' comments suggest the lefty hurler is still far away from being activated from the injured list. Snell has pitched in just two games for the Dodgers this season, with his last outing before landing on the IL coming all the way back on April 2. The veteran starter will presumably need to make multiple minor-league rehab appearances before he's ready to return to the big club, so it seems unlikely that he'll be ready to rejoin the Los Angeles rotation until after the All-Star break.
