The San Francisco Giants have placed starting pitcher Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list due to a left adductor strain. Snell, who signed a 2-year, $62 million contract with the Giants in March, is expected to miss at least two starts. This is the third time Snell has dealt with an adductor injury in the past three seasons. The Giants are hoping to have Snell back in the rotation by May 4th.
The San Francisco Giants have placed left-handed pitcher Blake Snell on the injured list with a left adductor strain, hours before his scheduled start against the Cleveland Guardians. Snell, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, has struggled in his first three appearances with the Giants, posting an 11.57 ERA. The Giants will open their series against the Guardians with a bullpen game and are expected to be without Snell for at least a month. This is the fourth Giants starter to be placed on the IL this season, joining Carlos Rodón, Anthony DeSclafani, and Alex Wood. Right-hander Sean Hjelle is a possible candidate to replace Snell in the rotation.
The San Francisco Giants have placed left-handed pitcher Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list (IL) due to a left adductor strain. The injury, which was retroactive to April 23, is expected to sideline Snell for at least a month, according to the Baseball Prospectus recovery database. Snell’s absence adds to the Giants’ mounting injury woes, with fellow starters Robbie Ray, Alex Cobb, and Tristan Beck also currently on the IL. The Giants will now rely on Logan Webb, Kyler Harrison, and others to carry the load in Snell’s absence.
