Dodgers' Blake Snell: Shut down from throwing

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell (shoulder) experienced a setback after playing catch Tuesday and will be shut down from throwing, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Roberts said that Snell will be re-evaluated once the Dodgers return to Los Angeles on Friday, at which point more should be known about how much this latest setback will delay his return. The 32-year-old initially landed on the injured list April 6 due to shoulder inflammation and was cleared to begin throwing bullpen sessions Saturday, but it now seems unlikely that he returns from the IL anytime soon.
