Blake Snell Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) will come off the 60-day injured list to start on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals, manager Dave Roberts told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. It will be Snell's second start for the Dodgers this year after opening the year with shoulder trouble and then needing surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The 33-year-old southpaw has looked good in four minor-league rehab games, posting a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB in 11 2/3 innings, although he only made it through 3 2/3 innings in his final start in the minors. The two-time Cy Young winner will get a plus matchup against the Royals in his return to the big-league mound next week, but with a likely short leash as the Dodgers ease him back into their rotation, Snell will carry extra risk for fantasy managers with a limited ceiling. Snell still has high-end strikeout upside for fantasy purposes, but he's made just 12 regular-season starts in his two years in L.A. due to shoulder and elbow injuries. He's currently rostered in 85% of Yahoo leagues. If he's available in your leagues, snatch him up immediately, as he could be a difference-maker for strikeouts to close out the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that while left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) didn't get into the fifth inning on Tuesday night in his fourth minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City, he did enough that his next start should be at the major-league level, according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Snell allowed three earned runs on five hits (two homers) while walking four and striking out three in 3 2/3 innings at OKC on Wednesday in what is believed to be his final rehab start before L.A. reinstates him from the 60-day injured list. The 33-year-old veteran and two-time Cy Young winner has made just one major-league start for the Blue in 2026 and has been sidelined since May 15 after having surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow, but his high-strikeout upside has made him stash-worthy in fantasy all year. Now that he's on the verge of returning to the majors, he should be scooped up in the rest of the leagues where he's available. Although Snell threw 73 pitches on Tuesday, he'll be riskier as a fantasy starter initially, with the Dodgers likely easing him back into the rotation after his long layoff. His next start figures to come early next week against the Kansas City Royals.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) will make one more rehab outing at Triple-A Oklahoma City. On Friday, the southpaw confirmed that he'll make a final rehab start before rejoining the Dodgers rotation. He was excellent during his latest rehab outing when he struck out nine batters across four scoreless innings of work. He only threw 60 pitches during that outing, so the Dodgers probably want to increase his pitch count before Snell comes back to the active roster. Fantasy managers should scoop him up off the waiver wire if he's still sitting there in any formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) looks ready to rejoin the team's big-league starting rotation after throwing four shutout innings with one hit allowed, no walks, and nine strikeouts in four innings of work with Low-A Ontario. It was against inexperienced hitters, but Snell looked good and threw 45 of his 60 pitches for strikes during the outing. The 33-year-old began the year nursing a shoulder injury before then landing on the injured list following a procedure on his left elbow to remove loose bodies from his arm. Although Snell looked good on Wednesday, the Dodgers could continue to slow-play the 33-year-old's rehab, like they are doing with most of their other injured stars. The former first-rounder and two-time Cy Young winner has made only one start for the Dodgers in 2026, but he deserves to be stashed in most fantasy baseball leagues for his strikeout upside when he's healthy. Snell is currently rostered in 80% of Yahoo leagues, and his return to L.A. could be on the horizon.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) will make a rehab start with Single-A Ontario on Wednesday. This will be Snell's third appearance on his current rehab stint as he works his way back from elbow surgery. Thanks to both elbow and shoulder issues, the 33-year-old has thrown just three innings in the big leagues so far this season. However, recent reporting indicates that Snell is expected to throw about 60 pitches on Wednesday and could be activated by the Dodgers following the start, assuming he makes it through without any hiccups. Snell remains a high-end starting pitcher when healthy, as he recorded a 5-4 record with a 2.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 72 strikeouts across 61 1/3 innings (11 starts) for the Dodgers in 2025. As long as he can avoid injury over the final two months of the regular season, he carries league-winning upside for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) will make his third minor-league rehab start Wednesday, with the left-hander expected to work four innings or approximately 60 pitches. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, Los Angeles will evaluate Snell afterward and could activate him during an upcoming stretch of nine consecutive games to keep its six-man rotation on schedule. Snell has allowed one run on three hits while striking out seven and walking one across four innings in his first two appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He progressed from 32 pitches in his rehab debut to 49 pitches over 2 2/3 innings Friday. The 33-year-old underwent a May procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow and has made only one start for the Dodgers this season. Another rehab outing remains possible, but fantasy managers should continue stashing Snell while awaiting Wednesday's results.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) had a solid first minor-league rehab outing on Saturday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, throwing 1 1/3 scoreless innings with one hit allowed, one walk, and four strikeouts against Triple-A Tacoma. The two-time Cy Young winner threw 32 pitches in the outing and averaged 93.5 mph with his heater, which is right around normal. It was his first game action since having a non-invasive procedure remove loose bodies from his left elbow, and although he still has a couple more rehab starts to go, he's nearing a return to the Dodgers' starting rotation for the second half. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, the 33-year-old southpaw could return to L.A. in early August. Snell has only made one start for the Dodgers in 2026 due to shoulder and elbow issues, and he only made 11 regular-season starts for the Blue last year due to injuries. He's been hard to trust from a durability standpoint, but his strikeout upside still makes him stash-worthy for the stretch run in nearly all fantasy baseball leagues. Snell is currently rostered in 79% of Yahoo leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. Snell has dealt with shoulder and elbow issues for what feels like his entire Dodgers tenure since joining them before the 2025 season. The two-time Cy Young winner has made only 12 starts for the team during the regular season since the start of last year, and he's currently on the 60-day injured list after having a NanoScope procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. Barring a setback, though, the talented left-hander could be back in L.A.'s starting rotation by early August. He has made just one start for the Dodgers in 2026, so he'll likely need more than just one rehab start on the farm to build his arm back up. Snell allowed five runs (four earned) with two walks and five strikeouts in just three innings in his only start this year on May 9 against the Atlanta Braves, but when he's right, he still has high-end strikeout upside and is worth stashing in all fantasy baseball leagues. He's currently rostered in just under 80% of Yahoo leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week, according to Sonja Chen. Snell was able to complete a live bullpen session without any issues on Saturday. It was the first time that Snell had faced live batters since undergoing a left elbow procedure in May. The expectation is that Snell is going to require a handful of rehab starts before he's cleared to return to the Dodgers rotation. His timetable will be determined by how he progresses, but hopefully Snell can contribute again in early August. Fantasy managers who are looking for pitching help should check the waiver wire and stash Snell if he's available.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) will face live hitters on Saturday for the first time since undergoing elbow surgery in mid-May, per David Vassegh of 570 L.A. Sports. Shoulder and elbow troubles have limited Snell to just one start so far in 2026, but the veteran left-hander appears to be slowly making progress towards a return. The oft-injured Snell has reached 130 innings pitched just twice in 11 big-league seasons. Still, he was a productive pitcher for the Dodgers when healthy in 2025, recording a 5-4 record with a 2.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 72 strikeouts across 61 1/3 innings. Snell posted a 34.7% strikeout rate as recently as the 2024 season and remains a high-upside strikeout source when he's at his best. In leagues where he may be available, fantasy managers should look to stash him off the waiver wire.
