BLAKE SNELL NEWS

Cleared for next start Snell (ankle) is listed as the Padres' probable starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Rays at Petco Park.

Impact Snell contended with swelling in his left ankle after being struck by a comebacker during his most recent start Sunday in Colorado, but the injury nor pitching at Coors Field prevented him from delivering his best outing of the season. The veteran southpaw set season highs in both innings pitched (seven) and strikeouts (12) while allowing one run on just three hits and one walk. After a middling start to the season, Snell has been rolling over his last four turns through the rotation, pitching to a 0.75 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB in 24 innings over that stretch. With the swollen ankle apparently not proving to be too bothersome during his between-starts bullpen session, Snell looks like he'll face no restrictions Saturday while facing off against his former team for the first time.

Dealing with swelling in ankle Snell was removed from Sunday's game against the Rockies due to swelling in his ankle, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Snell was hit by a comebacker on his left ankle in the bottom of the seventh inning and initially remained in the game, but he was replaced in the bottom of the eighth due to swelling. However, the southpaw underwent X-rays that came back negative and said after the game that he's fine. He allowed a run on three hits and no walks while striking out 12 in seven innings prior to his removal, and it seems likely that he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation.

Tosses six scoreless frames Snell (2-6) earned the win over the Cubs on Monday, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out eight batters over six scoreless innings.

Impact Snell didn't resolve his season-long command issues -- he handed out multiple free passes for the sixth straight outing -- but he yielded just two hits, both of which were singles. The left-hander also racked up 17 whiffs and fell one shy of his season high with eight strikeouts. Snell appears to be finding his groove, as he has posted back-to-back scoreless starts, during which he has surrendered just five hits and tallied 15 strikeouts over 12 innings. His ERA was up to 5.40 through May 19, but with three strong outings since then, it now stands at a much more respectable 4.06.

Solid in no-decision Snell did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over five innings against Washington. He struck out six.

Impact Snell wasn't at his best Thursday, but he was able to work through traffic, holding the Nats to one first-inning run while striking out six. It's certainly a step in the right direction for Snell after he allowed six runs in a loss to Boston in his previous outing. Still, it's been a tough start to the year for the left-hander -- he's 1-6 with a 5.04 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 54:31 K:BB through 10 starts (50 innings).

Takes sixth loss Snell (1-6) took the loss Friday, allowing six runs on five hits and two walks over four innings against the Red Sox. He struck out five.

Impact Snell continues to struggle, as he's currently on pace to have the worst season of his career by far. This was also the former Ray's worst appearance of the season, ballooning his ERA from 4.61 to 5.40. The southpaw is tentatively slated to face the Nationals on the road in his next start.

Turns in quality outing Snell did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

Impact Snell is now starting to turn a corner after a rough start to the year. The southpaw has just a 3.50 ERA in the month of May, and this was just his second start of the year where he did not allow a home run. Fantasy managers can start to feel a bit more confident in him heading into his next tentative start against the Royals.

Tough-luck loss Saturday Snell (1-5) allowed two runs on a hit and three walks while striking out six over six innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Snell was unlucky Saturday -- the only hit he surrendered was a two-run home run to Chris Taylor in the fourth inning. The Padres' offense mustered a mere one run on five hits and three walks. Snell's earned quality starts in his last two outings, but he's also given up at least one homer in six straight appearances. He's at a 4.89 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB through 35 innings over seven starts this season. The southpaw is lined up for a rematch with the Dodgers in Los Angeles next week.

Earns first win Snell (1-4) allowed three runs on eight hits over six innings Monday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Reds.

Impact Snell coughed up a two-run double to Stuart Fairchild in the third inning followed by Nick Senzel's solo shot in the fourth. It was the fifth straight game in which Snell gave up at least one home run. The 30-year-old lefty forced 17 whiffs, his highest total since recording 19 in his season debut. He picked up his first win and lowered his season ERA to 5.28 alongside a 33:18 K:BB through 29 frames. Snell is currently lined up to face the Dodgers at home this weekend.

Remains winless with loss to Cubs Snell (0-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and five walks over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out five.

Impact Snell once again was unable to pick up a win, but that had more to do with the lack of offense behind him then how he pitched against the Cubs on Wednesday. The southpaw allowed a two-run homer to Yan Gomes in the second inning, but Snell was able to keep Chicago off the board from that point on. Unfortunately for him and the Padres, the San Diego offense was unable to reach the scoreboard against Justin Steele and the Cubs' bullpen. Control was once again an issue for Snell, however, as he has walked at least three batters in four consecutive starts and issued 18 overall free passes in 23 innings.

Loses third game in four starts Snell (0-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings in a 8-1 loss against the Braves. He struck out five.

Impact Snell had his best outing of the young season, but the Padres' lack of run support led to him taking another loss. The southpaw gave up his lowest run and hit totals of the year, a welcome sight for fantasy managers. However, the eight-year veteran hasn't pitched more than five innings in a game this year, and has given up multiple runs in each start. The Seattle native will look to get back to his usual good form against the Diamondbacks in a few days.

Control issues Wednesday Snell (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and five walks over five-plus innings as the Padres fell 5-2 to the Mets. He struck out five.

Impact The southpaw threw only 53 of 100 pitches for strikes, and after issuing free passes to Jeff McNeil and Tommy Pham to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning, Snell got the hook. The 30-year-old has a 6.92 ERA and 16:10 K:BB through three starts and 13 innings to kick off the season, and he'll need to find the plate more often if he's going to trim down his ratios. Snell will try to get on track in his next outing, likely to come early next week at home against Atlanta.
