Robby Snelling Will Undergo Tommy John Surgery
The Miami Marlins announced on Thursday that left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery after consulting with Dr. Keith Meister, according to Craig Mish of Sports Grid. It's the worst-case scenario after the Marlins placed Snelling on the injured list with a sprained UCL following his first big-league start on May 8 against the Washington Nationals, when he allowed three earned runs while walking four and striking out two in five innings to take a loss. The club's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will now miss the remainder of the 2026 season and most likely the first half of next year as well. He can obviously be dropped by any fantasy managers who had scooped him up in redraft leagues after he was promoted to the majors. In long-term dynasty/keeper leagues, it's a big-time blow for his development, and could make him an interesting buy-low candidate.
