Blake Snell Looks Sharp In First Start Off The Injured List
4 months agoIn his return from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday night against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants left-hander Blake Snell looked the best he's looked all year in what has been a rough season after winning the National League Cy Young in 2023. Snell threw five shutout innings while allowing just one hit, walking three and striking out three in a no-decision. The strong outing lowered the 31-year-old southpaw's ERA to 7.85 on the year and his WHIP to 1.74. Given that this was his first major-league start in over a month, fantasy managers shouldn't have been surprised that he threw only 73 pitches. Snell will have a more difficult matchup this weekend against the Minnesota Twins before next week's All-Star break, but fantasy managers will be hoping he can build on Tuesday's fine start and gain some momentum heading into the second half.
