Overall
Summary
Blake Snell underwent elbow surgery on May 17, 2026 for loose bodies in his left elbow. The procedure was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who may use the "NanoNeedle" technique that allowed Tarik Skubal to return in just one week. While the standard recovery timeline is 2-3 months, there is optimism for a quicker return. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects Snell to return during the 2026 regular season.
Strengths
- Experienced surgeon (Dr. Neal ElAttrache) performing procedure
