Blake Snell is slated to pitch in one of two exhibition games in Tokyo on March 15 or 16, with manager Dave Roberts suggesting he’ll start the Dodgers’ home regular-season opener against the Tigers on March 27, per team reports. (Fabian Ardaya)
Fantasy Impact:
Snell, inked to a 5-year, $182 million pact in November, follows Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki’s Tokyo starts against the Cubs March 18-19—Sunday’s outing vs. the A’s (four runs, five hits, five strikeouts, 95.2 mph fastball, 67 pitches in 3.2 innings) shows he’s building nicely for his likely March 27 nod. Fantasy managers can lock him in as an ace; he’s primed to dominate from the get-go.
