San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell seemingly cannot catch a break with injuries this season.
Snell left Sunday’s outing in the middle of an at-bat after he came up wincing while throwing a pitch. The left-hander was in his third start back after missing nearly a month with a left adductor strain, and he seemed to be grabbing at that same left groin area before leaving the field.

Snell had been having his best start as a Giant before leaving. He struck out seven in 4.2 innings and left having only allowed one run to the New York Yankees, though two more runners that were attributed to him scored after he left the game.
The season has been a mess for Snell, who signed when spring training was virtually over and did not have much of a ramp-up period. He landed on the IL after three bad starts, missed a month, and now appears to have reinjured himself after three more outings. If his injury timeline ends up being similar to what it was last time, we might not see him again until July.
