Blake Snell Progresses in Rehab, Nearing Early August Return from Shoulder Inflammation

Southpaw Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list on April 3 due to left shoulder inflammation after a challenging second start. While an MRI showed no structural damage, the 32-year-old was initially shut down due to renewed discomfort. He commenced a rehab assignment on July 16th, successfully working up to 58 pitches in his most recent start, and is now targeting an early August return.
