Blake Snell Placed on 15-Day IL Amid Disastrous Start with Giants

The San Francisco Giants have sidelined Blake Snell due to a moderate left adductor strain, further complicating his challenging debut season.

Blake Snell, the reigning NL Cy Young winner, has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left adductor strain, retroactive to April 23.
Snell's early season struggles include an 11.57 ERA over three starts, significantly underperforming expectations.
The Giants have recalled right-hander Landen Roupp from Triple-A Sacramento to fill Snell's spot in the rotation.
Manager Bob Melvin expressed concern over Snell's injury, with no clear timetable for his return.
The Giants' rotation will rely on other starters like Logan Webb and Jordan Hicks in Snell's absence, adjusting their strategy to maintain competitiveness.
