The Sporting Tribune's Fredo Cervantes writes about Blake Snell's return looming to start the season.

Blake Snell #7 of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitches against the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field LOS ANGELES – The Dodgers clubhouse has learned to live with the slow burn of a long season, where April questions don’t always have immediate answers. But on Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, there was something tangible—something closer to clarity—when Blake Snell took a meaningful step forward.

It wasn’t flashy. It wasn’t dominant. And it certainly wasn’t about results.

It was about presence. “For me personally, It’s just an exercise,” Roberts said pregame on what he was looking for in Snell’s session. Blake Snell facing hitters for the first time this year.
