Snell started the season strong, allowing two earned runs in five innings on March 27 against the\u00a0Detroit Tigers, and he threw four scoreless innings in his last outing against the\u00a0Atlanta Braves\u00a0on April 2.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday,\u00a0Dodgers Nation reported that manager Dave Roberts\u00a0met with reporters and said that Snell played catch for the first time since the shoulder injury, making 20-30 throws at 90 feet. However, there\u2019s no timetable for his return.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div><\/div><figcaption>Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell (7) throws during the first inning against the Atlanta Braves at Dodger Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know exactly,\u201d Roberts told reporters when asked when he believes Snell might return, per Dodgers Nation. \u201cI think just kind of how he\u2019s feeling, the recovery, the progression. The throw looked good, his arm action was clean. He said he felt better than expected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberts noted that whether Snell makes a rehab appearance at Triple-A Oklahoma City before his return to the major league level depends on how long it takes the shoulder soreness to subside.<\/p>\n<p>Snell throwing at 90 feet without any reported problems may be great news for the Dodgers, who are likely anxious to watch their ace retake the mound.<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old veteran entered this season with the Dodgers after five seasons with the\u00a0Tampa Bay Rays, three with the\u00a0San Diego Padres, and one with the\u00a0San Francisco Giants. Snell is\u00a0MLB\u2019s all-time leader in strikeouts per nine innings, 11.2.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the offseason, the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0constructed a promising starting rotation, adding Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki to join Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
