Dodgers' Blake Snell to pause throwing, set to be reexamined

CHICAGO -- Los Angeles Dodgers starter Blake Snell will back off his throwing program as he continues to recover from left shoulder inflammation, according to manager Dave Roberts.

"As he was playing catch, he just didn't feel great," Roberts said Wednesday afternoon before the Dodgers played the Chicago Cubs. "Right now, we're going to slow play the throwing. Will probably get it looked at again when we get back home."

Snell, 32, has been on the injured list since early April after making just two starts for the Dodgers. He signed a five-year, $182 million contract this past offseason.
