Dodgers News: Blake Snell Has 'Goal' To Be Ready For Opening Day
"Blake Snell was limited in his first year with the Los Angeles Dodgers due to left shoulder inflammation, but he still managed to toss 95.1 innings between the regular season and playoffs. Snell was a workhorse during the team's postseason run as he logged 34 innings across six appearances (five starts). The two-time Cy Young Award winner was dominant at the start of October but began to wane in effectiveness as the Dodgers got deeper into the month."
"Yeah, I feel good. I'm just going to go slower. Last year, I had so much to prove and got way too excited. I was really pushing to get to spring, get through spring, and then this year I'm going to be a little slower just in how I ramp up. We're a little smarter on that, but I feel good."
Blake Snell was limited by left shoulder inflammation but still threw 95.1 innings across the regular season and playoffs. He logged 34 postseason innings across six appearances, including five starts, and was dominant early in October before declining as the month progressed. Snell reported arm exhaustion at the end of the World Series. The Dodgers intend to be patient with his spring ramp-up to protect his shoulder and workload. Snell said he feels stronger after physical therapy, plans to progress more slowly than last year, and aims to be ready for Opening Day.
