Snell is expected to throw two or three innings Sunday against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
The 27-year-old threw 47 pitches during his final intrasquad appearance last week, and it appears he'll begin the season with a similar workload. It's a significant hit to his Snell's fantasy value, as he's essentially operating as an opener and won't qualify for a potential win.
