Snell will pitch Friday night for Triple-A Sacramento, lining up the reigning Cy Young winner to return next week in Pittsburgh.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell stands on the field before their MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, April 7, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — As far as rehab starts go, it doesn’t get much better than the four perfect innings Blake Snell threw for Single-A San Jose earlier this week. The reigning National League Cy Young winner will, however, make one more tuneup before rejoining the Giants’ starting rotation.
“Blake is going to pitch Friday in Sacramento,” manager Bob Melvin confirmed Tuesday. “He’s going to pitch Friday in Sacramento and then he’ll come back with us. That’ll be his last one.” In eight turns through Snell’s spot in the rotation, the Giants have gone 1-7, only winning for the first time behind Mason Black on Sunday while Snell mowed through Single-A hitters on the other end of the San Francisco Bay. Not allowing a base runner over four innings, Snell threw 46 pitches — plus 15 more in a side session afterward — and struck out seven and while recording an immaculate first inning .
With an off day on Thursday — their first in 16 games — the Giants were able to get by with four starters until then, optioning Black to back to Sacramento on Monday in favor of Nick Avila, who can provide some help out of the bullpen.
