Blake Snell Completes First Spring Training Bullpen Session

Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell threw 15 fastballs, topping out at 89 mph, in his first spring training bullpen session. Snell, who dealt with offseason shoulder soreness, reported feeling pain-free and effortless during the session. While he is targeting a late April return, manager Dave Roberts remains cautious, noting that a rehab assignment is likely necessary. Snell is currently focused on building strength and preparing for live batting practice to determine his readiness.
