Fantasy Impact:
Snell acknowledged that he was exhausted following the Los Angeles Dodgers’ postseason run. He and the team elected to slow-play his winter throwing program to allow for a full recovery. Snell said both sides plan to remain patient, letting his body return to 100% while prioritizing his health and well-being. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if Snell is not ready for Opening Day, especially given the Dodgers’ history of erring on the side of caution with their starting pitchers and the fact that Snell returned from a long-term shoulder injury last summer.
