Los Angeles Dodgers Begin Rehab Assignments for Pitchers Blake Snell and Edwin Díaz

Two of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ key pitchers have started rehab assignments as the club works to restore its rotation and bullpen. Left‑hander Blake Snell, a two‑time Cy Young Award winner, threw live batting practice for the first time since elbow surgery and is set to begin a minor‑league rehab start next week. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Snell will likely need four or five outings before being activated, with a target of five innings and about 75 pitches per outing.

Closer Edwin Díaz entered a Single‑A game with the Ontario Tower Buzzers, striking out two hitters and allowing one hit in a scoreless fourth inning, marking the final step before a possible return to the major‑league roster. Meanwhile, right‑hander Tyler Glasnow continues his recovery from lower‑back spasms, with the team monitoring his progress before deciding on any further action.

The rehab progress of Snell and Díaz comes as the Dodgers seek to solidify their pitching staff amid a season impacted by injuries.
