Blake Snell Potentially Going to be Unavailable for Opening Day

The Los Angeles Dodgers may face challenges at the start of the 2026 season as Blake Snell, who had a delayed offseason throwing program, might not be available for Opening Day. Snell's recovery from left shoulder inflammation was prolonged, impacting his availability last season and potentially again this year. Despite the Dodgers' pitching depth, Snell's absence would add to the team's early-season challenges.
