Blake Snell Throws Live BP at Dodger Stadium, Takes ‘Very Big’ Step in Recovery

Big news on the rehab front. Blake Snell threw a simulated inning against live hitters at Dodger Stadium, and the team is calling it a “very big” step forward. This is exactly what we needed to see from him. We’re getting closer to having our guy back on the mound in a real game, and the fact that he’s facing live bats — not just throwing bullpens — tells you the confidence level is rising. As reported by MLB.com staff, this is a major milestone in his recovery timeline.
