Well, this is... suboptimal. Alex Pavlovic reports that the San Francisco Giants have placed Blake Snell on the IL (retroactive to yesterday) with a “left adductor strain.” The team has invested a lot of money for a big performance in a short period of time from the reigning NL Cy Young, and so far, it hasn’t worked out. And yet, it’s going about as well as could be expected.
This is the exact same injury that landed Snell on the IL in April 2022 and was a follow-up to the exact same injury that sent him to the IL in September 2021.
