Snell removed from Giants-Yankees game with adductor injury originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Blake Snell’s outing in the Giants’ 7-5 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday at Oracle Park came to an abrupt end.
With San Francisco leading New York 3-1 in the top of the fifth inning, Snell appeared to be injured on a 1-0 pitch to Alex Verdugo with the bases loaded and two outs.
Snell departed and walked off the field with senior director of athletic training Dave Groeschner.
The Giants later announced that Snell left the game with a strained left groin. After Sunday’s loss, manager Bob Melvin revealed that he would be surprised if Snell doesn’t go on the disabled list, but he will wait for confirmation after the star left-hander undergoes an MRI on Monday.
Snell was having perhaps his best outing of the season before the injury, and was charged with two additional earned runs after left-handed pitcher Erik Miller replaced him and delivered a two-run double to Alex Verdugo, tying the game at three. .
