Scouting Report: Duncan Snider

Summary

Robby Snelling, the Miami Marlins' No. 2 pitching prospect and 22-year-old left-hander, was placed on the 15-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his left elbow just one day after making his MLB debut on May 8. Snelling allowed 3 runs over 5 innings in his debut against Washington while walking 4 batters. He reported discomfort following a bullpen session and is expected to miss an extended period. UCL sprains often precede Tommy John surgery, though some pitchers recover without surgery. Prior to the injury, Snelling had dominated at Triple-A Jacksonville with a 1.86 ERA, 44 strikeouts in 29 innings over 6 starts, and was ranked as the 29th-33rd prospect in baseball.
