Blake Snell Fans Six in Three Scoreless Frames in Second Dodgers Rehab Start

The outing keeps his build on schedule toward a 75-pitch workload with a late-May return realistic if his shoulder responds.

Overview

Snell, pitching for Class-A Ontario on Tuesday, struck out six over three scoreless innings against Lake Elsinore.
He threw 39 pitches with 29 strikes and generated 11 swinging strikes while retiring nine of 10 batters faced.
He struck out the side in the first inning, overcame a leadoff double in the second with three straight strikeouts, then needed five pitches for a perfect third.
His fastball sat 95–97 mph and touched 98, which he and the team view as a sign of improving arm strength.
The Dodgers plan 3–4 rehab starts to reach about five innings or 75 pitches, with the next outing expected to target roughly 60 pitches and a late-May activation possible if there are no setbacks.
