Dodgers’ Blake Snell Availability for Opening Day in Jeopardy
Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Blake Snell’s availability for Opening Day is in jeopardy.
Snell, 33, slow-played his offseason throwing program after he and the organization mutually agreed it was best following an arduous World Series.
“I was happy I was able to pitch the whole time,” Snell told The California Post during a Dodgers charity event at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. “But it was tough.”
The Dodgers star revealed his arm was exhausted and fatigued following the Fall Classic, which featured Snell making a key relief appearance in Game 7.
“You want to ramp up, but I gotta take my time and get healthy,” Snell said.
