3 years agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell (groin) will make his season debut in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 29-year-old was unable to make his first start of the year during opening weekend due to groin soreness and he has been on the injured list ever since. Over the last few weeks, he made three rehab starts and the results have been solid overall as he posted a 2.77 ERA and 0.85 WHIP while striking out 19 batters over 13 innings. With Snell's return, rookie MacKenzie Gore's next start is going to be skipped so he can be rested. Mike Clevinger is being bumped up to Tuesday, when Gore was originally slated to start. The expectation is that Gore will pitch out of the bullpen this week and then make his next start later this month.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
