Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Robby Snelling, a highly-regarded 22-year-old left-handed pitcher and the Miami Marlins' No. 2 prospect, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 14, 2026, with a UCL sprain in his pitching elbow. The injury occurred just five days after his major league debut against the Washington Nationals, where he allowed three runs over five innings. Snelling reported discomfort following a bullpen session on May 13. The severity of the injury is undetermined, but UCL sprains often precede Tommy John surgery, which could sideline him for the remainder of the 2026 season and potentially most of 2027. Further testing is pending to determine the exact prognosis.
