Dodgers' Blake Snell to undergo elbow surgery Tuesday
Blake Snell will undergo elbow surgery to remove loose bodies from his throwing elbow, with hopes of returning before the end of the regular season. The procedure is expected to be minimally invasive, potentially similar to the NanoNeedle surgery Tarik Skubal recently had. Snell's setback comes shortly after his return from the injured list and a poor performance against the Atlanta Braves.
