Blake Snell to undergo elbow surgery on Tuesday
Blake Snell is set to undergo elbow surgery on Tuesday after his return from injury lasted only six days due to loose bodies in his left elbow. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who may use the experimental 'NanoNeedle' technique that allowed Tarik Skubal to resume throwing within a week. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts remains optimistic Snell will return during the regular season, with a clearer timeline expected after the surgery.
