Blake Snell Completes First Spring Bullpen Session

Blake Snell progressed in his recovery from a shoulder issue by throwing a 15-pitch bullpen session on Thursday. The session consisted of low-intensity fastballs between 87 and 89 mph. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Snell is essentially beginning his spring training now and will require at least six weeks to ramp up. While he is expected to start the 2026 season on the injured list, the team is encouraged by his progress, with a potential season debut targeted for early May.
