Snell was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday and placed on the 15-day IL with a moderate adductor strain in his left groin.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell walks off the mound past manager Bob Melvin, right, during a pitching change in the fifth inning of the team’s baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in San Francisco, Friday, April 19, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — Blake Snell made a brief appearance in the Giants’ clubhouse Wednesday morning. He stopped by his locker, checked his phone and dashed out the door. Blink, and you’d miss him.
Landing on the injured list, Snell added another lump to his rocky start in San Francisco. Waiting until March 19 to sign a two-year, $62 million free-agent contract, Snell didn’t make his first start until the fourth series of the season while occupying an active roster spot, and he hasn’t been an asset since taking the mound.
The struggles can’t be blamed on the injury, which Melvin said Snell suffered during his most recent bullpen session. After Thursday’s day off, the Giants have Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks and Keaton Winn lined up to start the final three games of their home stand against the Pirates, all on an extra day of rest. With another day off Monday before their series in Boston, all three could pitch again on regular rest after Logan Webb before Snell’s turn.
