Undergoes internal brace surgery Snelling underwent internal brace surgery Friday to repair a torn UCL in his left elbow.

Impact The Marlins had indicated previously that Snelling would require Tommy John surgery, so it's pleasant surprise that he needed an internal brace procedure instead. The operation Snelling had comes with a timetable of 10-to-12 months, which gives him a good chance to be a contributor for Miami at some point next season.

Will undergo Tommy John surgery Snelling will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair his left elbow UCL, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

Impact It's not a surprising development after Snelling was diagnosed with a sprained UCL last week and moved to from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL earlier Thursday. With it being a full Tommy John repair rather than a less invasive procedure, Snelling will likely be out until at least the second half of the 2027 season, and he might not be seen in the big leagues until 2028.

Moves to 60-day IL The Marlins transferred Snelling (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Snelling is set to meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Thursday to determine whether surgery is necessary to repair the sprained UCL in his left elbow. The young southpaw is facing an extended absence regardless of whether he needs to go under the knife, so the Marlins will stash him away on the 60-day IL. The move clears space on the 40-man roster for Rece Hinds, who was acquired in a trade with the Reds on Thursday.

Exam with Dr. Meister on Thursday Snelling (elbow) will be examined by Dr. Keith Meister in Texas on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Snelling was placed on the 15-day injured list last Wednesday with a left elbow UCL sprain, but he'll be examined further before a decision is made regarding surgery. Even if Snelling opts for rest and rehab instead of an operation, he is likely looking at a lengthy absence.

More analysis on elbow next week Snelling will have his left elbow evaluated further by medical staff next week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 22-year-old southpaw landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow, just five days after making his major-league debut against the Nationals. Once Snelling undergoes more tests on his left elbow, the Marlins should have a better idea of whether the young left-hander will need to undergo surgery.

Lands on IL with sprained UCL The Marlins placed Snelling on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left elbow UCL sprain.

Impact It's a brutal blow for the Marlins and for Snelling, who just made his major-league debut last week. Whether the rookie southpaw undergoes season-ending surgery hasn't been determined yet, but it's a distinct possibility. Braxton Garrett is set to enter the Marlins' rotation in Snelling's place.

Second start coming Thursday Snelling is slated to start Thursday's game against the Twins at Target Field.

Impact With the Marlins cutting Chris Paddack last week, Snelling appears to be in line for extended audition in the Miami rotation, despite turning in an uneven MLB debut this past Friday. Snelling took a loss to the Nationals in his first start, covering five innings and striking out two batters while yielding three earned runs on five hits and four walks. On a more encouraging note, Snelling induced 12 swings and misses among his 86 pitches, illustrating the strikeout upside he brings to the table. Prior to receiving his promotion to the big leagues, Snelling generated 44 punchouts over 29 innings at Triple-A Jacksonville this season.

Mixed results in debut Snelling (0-1) took the loss against the Nationals on Friday, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

Impact Snelling allowed three runs with two outs in the first inning but battled to keep the Marlins off the board from there. He generated 12 whiffs on 86 pitches and generally struggled with command, issuing four walks and yielding multiple baserunners in every frame except a clean fourth. It was still a solid outing overall for the 22-year-old, who entered Friday with a 1.86 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB across 29 innings at Triple-A Jacksonville. He lines up for a road matchup against the Twins next week.

Contract selected ahead of debut The Marlins selected Snelling's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Impact Snelling is set to make his major-league debut Friday with a start against the Nationals at home. The left-hander earned a promotion after collecting a dominant 1.86 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB in 29 innings covering six starts with Jacksonville. Snelling is taking the rotation spot vacated by Chris Paddack, who was designated for assignment. The 22-year-old rookie will have an opportunity to stick with the big club over the long haul if he performs.

Impact Snelling will be stepping into the rotation spot that opened up Tuesday, when the Marlins designated Chris Paddack for assignment. After a dominant run at Jacksonville to close out the 2025 campaign, Snelling has continued to thrive in Triple-A to begin 2026, submitting a 1.86 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB in 29 innings over six starts. He'll get a favorable matchup for his MLB debut and should stick around in the Miami rotation on a long-term basis if he's able to hold his own in his first exposure to the big leagues.
