2026 Fantasy Outlook
"If you can't beat them, join them." That's exactly what Snell did last winter when he signed a five-year, $182 million contract with the Dodgers, the team that bested Snell's Rays in the 2020 World Series. A bout of shoulder inflammation put Snell on the injured list two starts into the 2025 season, costing him four months. The left-hander returned to go 4-4 with a 2.41 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 68:18 K:BB over 52.1 innings spanning nine starts down the stretch of the regular season before adding three wins with a 3.18 ERA and 41 more strikeouts over 34 postseason innings. His fastball was more hittable last season, though he only gave up three total homers in his 61.1 regular-season innings. A two-time Cy Young winner, Snell has often missed time due to injury throughout his career, twice reaching 30 starts. More of the same should be expected in 2026 -- both the missed time and the high-level performance when available. A third Cy Young is not out of the question but should be considered unlikely given his injury history and with the Dodgers always prioritizing the ultimate goal of winning a championship. The injury bug didn't waste any time in 2026 either, as Snell will have a delayed start to the campaign due to shoulder problems. Read Past Outlooks
Live BP session Wednesday
Snell (shoulder) tossed a live bullpen session Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Analysis
Snell ended up tossing 31 pitches over two simulated innings and faced Alex Call, Santiago Espinal and Tommy Edman (ankle), per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Snell continues to rehab from left shoulder fatigue that caused him to open the regular season on the 15-day injured list. Wednesday was his second bullpen session of his recovery program, and he'll likely need several more before being cleared to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment. Snell is not expected to make his season debut until at least late May.

Snell didn't secure a contract for 2024 until signing with the Giants in mid-March, and the turbulent offseason carried over into the regular season. He joined San Francisco's rotation in early April but made just six starts and had a 9.51 ERA during the first three months of the campaign as he missed time due to groin and hamstring injuries. The left-hander was dominant once he returned from the injured list in July and closed the season with just 11 earned runs allowed in his final 14 starts, and he had a 114:30 K:BB over 80.1 innings during that stretch. Snell cashed in with a long-term deal with the Dodgers, so he is well positioned to log double-digit wins for the third time in his career. He's topped 130 frames in a season just twice in his eight full MLB campaigns, so fantasy managers shouldn't be counting on more than 20-to-25 starts. However, Snell won the Cy Young Award in those other two seasons, so he could be a league-winning pitcher if he's able to stay healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could make season debut in April
Snell could make his 2026 season debut in April as he continues to work his way back from shoulder issues, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Analysis
While manager Dave Roberts hasn't offered a specific timeline, all signs point to Snell making his season debut in the final days of April. He's had a delayed start to spring training after experiencing some shoulder soreness after the World Series run, and he recently tossed a 15-pitch bullpen session Thursday, which was his first mound work in the spring.
