Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell will start Saturday against the Atlanta Braves instead of making a final rehab outing, a source told Jack Harris of the California Post.
Snell will be making his season debut after recovering from shoulder fatigue and inflammation. He'll likely be on a 75-pitch limit, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic.
The two-time Cy Young winner allowed three earned runs on six hits with two walks and 10 strikeouts over eight innings (three rehab starts) in the minors this season.
Snell said in January that his arm was "exhausted" from another extended playoff run en route to helping the Dodgers win back-to-back World Series.
The 33-year-old posted a 2.34 ERA with 10.6 K/9 over 61 1/3 innings (11 regular-season starts) in 2025.
