Scouting Report: Jimmy Robbins
Chicago Cubs | SP
Overall
Summary
Robby Snelling, a highly-regarded 22-year-old left-handed pitcher and the Miami Marlins' No. 2 prospect (ranked 29th-33rd overall in baseball), was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 14, 2026, just five days after making his major league debut. Snelling suffered a UCL sprain in his left pitching elbow after reporting discomfort following a bullpen session. In his debut against Washington, he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits over 5 innings with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts in a 3-2 loss. The severity of the injury is undetermined, but Tommy John surgery is a possibility, which could sideline him for the remainder of 2026 and potentially most of 2027. Further testing is ongoing.
