Blake Snell‘s NanoNeedle Elbow Surgery Could Speed Up Recovery
CONFIRMEDBlake Snell goes under the knife Tuesday for NanoNeedle surgery on his left elbow to remove loose bodies, per staff at DodgerBlue.com. The NanoNeedle procedure — the same one Tarik Skubal had — could help shorten Snell’s recovery timeline compared to a traditional loose body removal. That’s genuinely encouraging news given where we are with the pitching staff right now. Edwin Díaz already had right elbow surgery to remove loose bodies of his own, and Tyler Glasnow remains shut down dealing with back trouble (and this one bears watching). Our rotation and bullpen depth is being stress-tested in a serious way, so anything that gets Snell back sooner matters.
