Overview
- Snell is listed to throw a bullpen session Thursday, per reports from Fabian Ardaya and Jack Harris.
- He progressed from flat-ground catch to mound work with a standing catcher earlier this week before advancing to bullpen duty.
- Snell has emphasized he will take his time ramping up, with Opening Day a goal rather than a mandate.
- Manager Dave Roberts said Opening Day is not a hard target for Snell, signaling the club’s preference for full recovery over speed.
- The Dodgers’ rotation depth — including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, Emmet Sheehan and others — reduces pressure to rush his return.
