Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Robby Snelling, a top pitching prospect for the Miami Marlins, was placed on the 15-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his left elbow just five days after making his major league debut. The 22-year-old left-hander allowed three runs over five innings in his debut against Washington, walking four batters. He reported discomfort following a bullpen session and is undergoing further testing. UCL sprains often precede Tommy John surgery, which could sideline him for the remainder of the 2026 season and potentially most of 2027. Prior to the injury, Snelling dominated at Triple-A Jacksonville with a 1.86 ERA over six starts with 44 strikeouts in 29 innings.
