Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell has resumed throwing a baseball following surgery on his elbow. Snell underwent the NanoNeedle procedure to address loose bodies, which held him out earlier this season due to shoulder discomfort. This marks his second occurrence of similar elbow issues since 2019. With the expedited recovery process, Snell could return in five to six weeks instead of the usual three months. Manager Dave Roberts highlighted the positive outcome of the surgery, although no specific timeline is set for his full return to the mound.
