3 years agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell (groin) exited Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first inning of their 8-0 loss. According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, he experienced left adductor tightness, which is usually a groin injury. The latest news adds on to what has been a disappointing first year out west for Snell, who owns a 4.22 ERA, but is still striking out 31% of the batters he's faced. He has value in every format, but his inability to go deep into games (128 innings over 26 starts) limits it. He's day-to-day for now, but if forced to miss time, the Padres would probably call upon Ryan Weathers. He's started 17 games this season and has a 5.36 ERA with just 64 strikeouts across 85.2 innings. Fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire and find a better starting option.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
