Rays' Blake Snell Placed on IL After Toe Injury Diagnosed as Fracture
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Blake Snell has been placed on the injured list after suffering a fractured right toe, according to broadcaster Neil Solondz.
Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times detailed the unusual way Snell picked up the injury:
Marc Topkin #Rays Snell said he was getting out of the shower Sunday night, decided then to move a decorative stand in the bathroom that he didn’t realize was in 2 parts, and as he lifted it the bottom piece, made of granite, fell on his right foot. That fourth toe is a bruised red mess. https://t.co/KHUOk5FcBL
On the plus side, he is expected to return when first eligible on April 24 after just one missed start, per Solondz.
