Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell is still dealing with some discomfort in his left shoulder and wasn't able to resume playing catch Sunday as planned, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Snell appears to be stuck in a holding pattern in his recovery from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the injured list since April 6. He had been able to resume throwing bullpen sessions less than two weeks after being shelved with the injury, but he experienced a setback in late April and received an injection in his shoulder to aid in his recovery. The injection doesn't appear to have resolved Snell's shoulder discomfort as quickly as anticipated, and the lefty is now set to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday before the Dodgers determine his next steps. Even if he receives a positive evaluation from Dr. ElAttrache, Snell would still seem to be multiple weeks away from returning from the IL.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Will resume throwing Sunday
Rotowire
Snell (shoulder) is expected to play catch Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Snell was previously expected to resume throwing Friday, but manager Dave Roberts indicated that the hurler came down with an illness that "set him back a couple days." Snell hasn't thrown at all since late April and received a cortisone injection in the hope that it would help with the inflammation in his left shoulder. The left-handed pitcher is likely at least several weeks away from returning to the Dodgers' rotation.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reports Friday that Snell (shoulder) is expected to resume playing catch next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Snell had his throwing program shut down after experiencing a setback with his left shoulder injury that caused him to be placed on the 15-day injured list April 6. He received a cortisone injection for his left shoulder this past Monday and will travel with the team to Miami next week to resume his throwing program.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Receives injection as expected
Rotowire
Snell received an injection to assist in treating his left shoulder inflammation Monday, Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation reports.
This isn't a significant update on the southpaw, who was expected to receive an injection after dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder. However, it'll be worth keeping a close eye on how Snell feels in the days after the injection, as there isn't currently a firm timetable on when he'll be cleared to resume throwing.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Will receive injection for shoulder
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that an MRI on Snell's left shoulder revealed "no new findings," and the 32-year-old southpaw will receive an injection to help treat the inflammation, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Snell was shut down from his throwing program Tuesday after suffering a setback. He's been on the 15-day injured list since April 6 due to left shoulder inflammation, and what was once hoped to be a brief stint on the IL has become more complicated. How Snell's shoulder reacts to the injection will determine the next steps in his rehab program.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Shut down from throwing
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell (shoulder) experienced a setback after playing catch Tuesday and will be shut down from throwing, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Roberts said that Snell will be re-evaluated once the Dodgers return to Los Angeles on Friday, at which point more should be known about how much this latest setback will delay his return. The 32-year-old initially landed on the injured list April 6 due to shoulder inflammation and was cleared to begin throwing bullpen sessions Saturday, but it now seems unlikely that he returns from the IL anytime soon.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Tosses first bullpen session
Rotowire
Snell (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
It was Snell's first bullpen session since he landed on the 15-day injured list April 6 due to left shoulder inflammation. The veteran southpaw noted afterward that he feels "way better" throwing now than when he attempted to pitch through the injury, and he added that he'll need at least one more bullpen and a simulated game before there's a discussion on being activated from the IL.
Snell (shoulder) resumed his throwing program Monday by playing catch, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Snell landed on the 15-day injured list April 6 due to left shoulder inflammation that he initially tried to pitch through. He was shut down from throwing following his placement on the IL, but Monday's session indicates that the 32-year-old is progressing in his recovery, though he'll need to work up to bullpen sessions before the Dodgers have a better idea of a return date for the veteran southpaw. Snell noted after the throwing session that he felt better than expected, and the club is hopeful he'll throw again Tuesday, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com.
Snell (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing until Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that the team doesn't plan to give Snell any treatment while he's shut down, instead deciding to see how he responds to several days of rest. A timeline for his return will likely emerge once he's cleared to resume throwing, though a minimum-length stay on the IL is almost certainly off the table.
Dodgers' Blake Snell: Hopes for short-term absence
Rotowire
Snell revealed Monday that he had been dealing with left shoulder inflammation for the past three weeks before landing on the injured list Sunday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Snell thought he could pitch through the issue and that it would eventually subside, but he was unable to get through his last bullpen session, necessitating an IL move. The southpaw hopes to miss only a couple weeks of action, but it would not be a surprise if the Dodgers exercise more caution with their $182 million investment. Los Angeles will expand its rotation to six men this week, and Justin Wrobleski and Landon Knack are expected to be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the two openings Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Shut down with shoulder swelling
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Snell on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left shoulder inflammation.
According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Snell completed a bullpen session Sunday and informed the Los Angeles training staff afterward that his shoulder was bothering him. Rather than reassessing Snell in a few days and seeing if the inflammation dissipates, the Dodgers will send him to the IL, making him ineligible to pitch again for the big club until April 18. The Dodgers recalled right-hander Matt Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City to provide coverage in the bullpen in the short term, but Snell's absence means that the team will need to break in a new rotation member Tuesday in Washington.
