The Miami Marlins have announced that left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling has been transferred to the 60-day injured list and will undergo Tommy John surgery due to a left elbow UCL sprain. Snelling, ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 28 overall prospect and Miami's No. 2 prospect for 2026, had an impressive start to the season, showcasing a 1.86 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 29 innings over six starts in Triple-A. He made his MLB debut on May 8, where he allowed three runs in five innings against the Washington Nationals. However, just before his second start, he was placed on the injured list. The recovery time for Tommy John surgery is generally 12 to 18 months, which raises concerns about his availability for the next season and potentially pushes his return to 2028. In the interim, the Marlins will need to adjust their pitching plans, having initially called up Braxton Garrett, who struggled with a 14.54 ERA in his two starts. Another prospect, Thomas White, is also sidelined with an injury, complicating the team's options moving forward. Fans are rallying behind Snelling as he embarks on his recovery journey.
