Blake Snell To Throw Off A Mound This Week
3 months agoSan Francisco Giants left-hander Blake Snell (groin) is scheduled to throw off a mound this week. Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list for the second time already this year on June 3, a day after he left in the middle of an at-bat in the fifth inning against the New York Yankees. He missed 25 games with another left-groin strain in April after signing in late with the Giants during spring training. Manager Bob Melvin said an MRI exam showed that the strain was mild. Snell threw out to 75 feet last Thursday and is now ready for some bullpen sessions. Despite his rough start with the Gigantes, last year's National League Cy Young winner needs to remain stashed in all fantasy leagues for his strikeout upside. It's been a rough go so far in San Fran, as Snell currently has an 0-3 record, 9.51 ERA, 1.94 WHIP, 31 strikeouts and 14 walks in 23 2/3 innings.
