Snell felt good Saturday during his first bullpen session since breaking his toe, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reported that Snell threw between 18 and 20 pitches Saturday and could throw a more extended session Monday before his next step is decided. He's eligible to return from the IL on Wednesday and could be an option to start that day against the Royals if the Rays are satisfied with how he looks following the second session. The Rays haven't officially confirmed that he'll return in the minimum amount of time, but he appears to be trending in the correct direction.
