Snell (elbow) is expected to kick off a minor-league rehab assignment next Saturday, June 18, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports. Per Chen, Snell completed an up-and-down live bullpen Saturday, marking the first time he's faced hitters since undergoing a NanoScope procedure on his left elbow in mid-May. That came after the veteran southpaw returned to throwing bullpens in late June, and to this point he's had no setbacks following the elbow surgery. Snell will probably need 4-to-5 rehab starts to build up to his target of five innings/75 pitches, so a return to the Dodgers' rotation isn't likely to come until at least early August.

Snell (elbow) is scheduled to face live hitters Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. This is another step in the right direction for Snell, who tossed a 15-pitch bullpen session Friday without issue. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Snell will need to get through two live BP sessions before gaining clearance to go out on a rehab assignment, per Vassegh, which could seemingly happen sometime next week if all goes according to plan. A clear timetable for the southpaw's return should start to come into focus once he embarks on a rehab stint.

Snell (elbow) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Friday, and manager Dave Roberts said it went well, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. The session was Snell's first proper bullpen since he underwent a NanoScope procedure on his left elbow May 19. Per MLB.com, the veteran lefty is expected to need at least four more bullpens before he's cleared to face hitters. That puts his timeline to return beyond the All-Star break, though it's possible he could be activated before the end of July.

Snell (elbow) will throw a 15-pitch bullpen session Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Snell technically began throwing off a mound Saturday to a standing catcher, but Friday will be his first proper bullpen session since he underwent surgery on his elbow in mid-May. The veteran southpaw won't be eligible to return from the injured list until after the All-Star break, though he could still return relatively early in the second half if his rehab continues to progress smoothly.

Snell (elbow) threw off a mound to a standing catcher Saturday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports. Snell has yet to throw a proper bullpen session since undergoing a NanoScope procedure May 19 to address loose bodies in his left elbow, but he appears to be on the precipice of doing so now that he's completed a flat-ground throwing progression. The left-hander will remain on the shelf through the All-Star break, but he could have a shot at returning early in the second half of the season if he experiences no setbacks while ramping up his throwing in the coming weeks.
