    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Will begin rehab stint next weekend

    Blake 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 Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation isn't likely to come until at least early August.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Facing live hitters Saturday

    Blake 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.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Bullpen session goes well

    Blake 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.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Bullpen session scheduled

    Blake 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.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Steps back on mound Saturday

    Blake 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.

A clearer timeline for his return will begin to emerge as he checks off boxes during his throwing program, though he won't be eligible for activation until after the All-Star break.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Transferred to 60-day IL

    The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred Blake Snell (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.Snell missed more than a month at the start of the season while working his way back from shoulder fatigue, and he's now due for another extended absence after undergoing surgery on his left elbow Tuesday. He remains without a firm return timeline, though moving to the 60-day IL will force him to remain sidelined at least through the All-Star break. His 40-man spot will go to Santiago Espinal, who re-signed with the Dodgers on a major-league deal Friday.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Slated for nano scope procedure

    Blake Snell (elbow) will undergo the same "nano scope" procedure Tuesday that Tarik Skubal had earlier in May, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.The Los Angeles Dodgers commented earlier in the day Monday that they weren't yet sure what type of surgery Snell would be slated for, but general manager Brandon Gomes has since confirmed that it will be the nano scope procedure for the southpaw. This is promising news for fantasy managers, as this type of procedure is thought to give Snell a chance to return in 4-to-6 weeks. A timetable for his return likely won't become clear until after the procedure.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Scheduled for surgery Tuesday

    Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Blake Snell will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.Roberts relayed that he isn't sure if Snell will have the same type of surgery as Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (elbow), which carries a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline. That would shelve Snell until at least early July, but he would be looking at an even longer absence if the procedure is more intensive. Regardless, the Dodgers are optimistic that the southpaw will be cleared to return before the end of the season.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Lands on IL with elbow injury

    The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, due to loose bodies in his left elbow, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.Snell was scratched from Friday's start against the Angels, and it's clear now why that was necessary. If he needs to undergo surgery like he did in 2019 for the same issue, then he's looking at 2-to-3 months on the shelf, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Southpaw Charlie Barnes was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
