Dodgers' Blake Snell attempting carbon-copy recovery from Tigers ace Tarik Skubal's elbow surgery
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell is undergoing elbow surgery to remove loose bodies, sidelining him indefinitely. He will use the same surgeon and procedure as Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal in hopes of a faster recovery. The Dodgers are seeking a quicker return for Snell, who has already missed much of the season due to injury.
- ▪Blake Snell is scheduled to undergo an arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow.
- ▪He will be operated on by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the same surgeon who treated Tarik Skubal with a minimally invasive Nano Needle technique.
- ▪Tarik Skubal began light catch play just five days after his procedure and was projected to return in about a month.
- ▪The typical recovery time for this type of elbow surgery is two to three months, but the Dodgers hope for a faster timeline.
- ▪Snell had only recently made his season debut after missing the first six weeks due to shoulder fatigue and inflammation.
