Blake Snell Fantasy Stats

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.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) threw his scheduled 15-pitch bullpen session on Friday, and it went well, according to David Vassegh of 570 L.A. Sports. It was Snell's first time throwing off a mound since he had surgery on his left elbow to remove loose bodies on May 19. The Dodgers are slow-playing the 33-year-old southpaw, who has only made one start in 2026 due to injuries, and he's expected to need at least four more bullpens before he's cleared to face live hitters. It's unclear exactly when the two-time Cy Young winner might rejoin the Dodgers' starting rotation, but it might not be until late July or early August. Snell is being stashed in most fantasy leagues despite making just 12 regular-season starts with the Dodgers since the beginning of the 2025 season, primarily because of his career 30% strikeout rate. In his 11 regular-season starts last year, Snell was strong, posting a 2.35 ERA (2.69 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 72 strikeouts and 26 walks in 61 1/3 innings pitched. He's currently rostered in 76% of Yahoo leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) is scheduled to throw a 15-pitch, fastball-only bullpen on Friday, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports. Snell is working his way back from surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, which he underwent on May 19. The 33-year-old also began the year on the injured list due to a shoulder issue, so he's thrown just three innings for the Dodgers in 2026. Snell was an effective pitcher 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 (11 starts). However, the veteran left-hander's profile is riddled with injury risk, as he's reached 130 innings in just one season since 2018. While it's a positive sign that Snell appears to be progressing, he's likely still at least a few weeks away from going out on a rehab assignment.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) threw off a bullpen mound on Saturday to a standing catcher, according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Snell is slowly making progress after having a scope on May 19 to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The 33-year-old won't be ready to rejoin the Dodgers' starting rotation until the second half of the season, and it's unclear exactly when that might be. But based on the quick return of Detroit Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal after a similar procedure on his elbow, Snell could return in late July or early August. The two-time Cy Young winner has only made 12 starts for the Blue since joining the team before the start of the 2025 campaign, and in his lone start this year, he allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits while walking two and striking out five in only three innings pitched. Snell has been extremely volatile for fantasy managers because of injuries the last two years, but he had a 2.35 ERA in his 11 starts last year and has a 30% career strikeout rate, making him stash-worthy almost everywhere for a second-half return. He's rostered in 75% of Yahoo leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) will undergo a "nano-scope" procedure to remove loose bodies in his left elbow on Tuesday, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. Gonzalez notes that it's the same procedure that was recently performed on Detroit Tigers starter Tarik Skubal (elbow), and that the Dodgers are hoping for a relatively short return timeline for Snell. It's been a nightmare season to this point for Snell, who opened the year on the injured list due to a shoulder issue. The 33-year-old made just one start for the Dodgers before experiencing pain in his elbow that led to his current IL stint. Snell remains a high-upside fantasy starter when healthy, but the veteran left-hander has now made just 32 starts since the beginning of the 2024 season. He could be worth stashing in deeper formats or leagues with an IL spot. However, Snell's profile is riddled with injury risk at this point in his career.
