The Dodgers are shutting down Blake Snell.

The southpaw pitcher “didn’t feel great” after playing catch on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts.

He will reportedly be re-evaluated when the team returns to Los Angeles this weekend. 

The Dodgers are planning to “slow-play the throwing” with Snell, per the Los Angeles Times.

Roberts mentioned that the communication to Blake is focused on considering the bigger picture later in the season rather than pushing through any discomfort. The priority is to avoid exacerbating any potential issues.

The Athletic reported that Snell “might go for more imaging” on his arm. 

Earlier this week, Snell admitted to the Orange County Register that “the pain [in his shoulder] lingers here and there.” 

Snell, who is now 32 years old, emphasized his confidence in his ability to perform once he starts throwing. He expressed that he doesn’t sense any discomfort while playing catch and only needs to build up momentum when he begins his training for the day.

Snell has been on the injured list since early April after being diagnosed with left shoulder inflammation. 

The two-time Cy Young award winner had made just two starts for the Dodgers this season, tossing nine innings with a 2.00 ERA. 

Snell signed a five-year, $182 million contract with the Dodgers over the offseason after opting out of a deal with the Giants. 

Injuries have hampered the veteran starter throughout his MLB career. 

Snell has thrown more than 130 innings in a season just twice in 10 years at the big league level.
