The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0landed\u00a0Blake Snell\u00a0on the injured list back in April. Is Snell closing on a comeback soon?\u00a0Dave Roberts dropped an eye-opening update there.<\/p>\n

Snell still dealt with discomfort earlier on Wednesday. But Roberts\u00a0delivered this evening update via Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlake Snell threw out to 60 feet today, per Dave Roberts. So the doctor\u2019s visit went well,\u201d Ardaya posted on X.<\/p>\n

The left-handed pitcher got scheduled to meet Dr. Neal ELAttrache Monday. This became a routine visit to examine the injured shoulder. Wednesday’s update means Snell has resumed throwing. He remains on IL, though.<\/p>\n

Snell emerged as one of two significant injuries in April on the mound. Fellow pitcher Tyler Glasnow is another who went down with an injury.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Snell hasn’t thrown heat since April 2. He’s watched the Dodgers produce the league’s second-best record at 27-15 ahead of their home showdown against the A’s.<\/p>\n

There’s one more significant injury in the Dodgers’ bullpen.<\/p>\n

Rookie\u00a0Roki Sasaki\u00a0is dealing with his own shoulder ailment.\u00a0Sasaki’s injury surfaced Tuesday. Ardaya added an update there via Roberts.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo plans as of right now for Roki Sasaki to have medical intervention (such as a painkilling injection) in his right shoulder. Will be no throw for a while, Dave Roberts said,\u201d Ardaya posted.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Sasaki won’t require surgery on this shoulder ailment. But this setback adds to a rough MLB start.<\/p>\n

Sasaki arrived to the defending world champions Dodgers amid massive hype. However,\u00a0Sasaki has become an early season disappointment. He admitted back on April 19 that’s he’s watched a dip in his own pitching mechanics. Sasaki has surrendered an ERA of 4.72 this season \u2014 the second-worst mark behind Landon Knack among starting pitchers.<\/p>\n

Yoshinobu Yamamoto\u00a0leads L.A. with 53 strikeouts on the hill. He and Ben Casparius lead the Dodgers with four wins. But Snell is looking like he’s on his way back.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
