Robby Snelling to be Re-Evaluated Next Week
Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling (elbow) will go for further evaluation next week, manager Clayton McCullough told Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. After making his MLB debut last week, Snelling was placed on the 15-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his left elbow, and it's unclear exactly when he might be able to rejoin the Marlins' starting rotation. In his MLB debut on May 8 against the Washington Nationals, the highly-touted pitching prospect allowed three earned runs in five innings while walking four and striking out two to take the loss. Fantasy managers stashing him in dynasty and deeper fantasy leagues might want to prepare for an extended absence, and there's also the possibility that the 22-year-old needs surgery. Left-hander Braxton Garrett took Snelling's spot in the rotation in Miami, but he flopped in his season debut with five earned runs allowed and five walks in just 1 1/3 innings against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. UPDATE: Snelling is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas on Thursday.
