Resumes throwing

Snell (elbow) began playing catch Friday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Analysis

Snell still has a lot of work to do before coming off the injured list, but it's an encouraging sign that he's been cleared to throw roughly two weeks after undergoing surgery on his elbow. A clearer timeline for his return will begin to emerge as he checks off boxes during his throwing program, though he won't be eligible for activation until after the All-Star break.
