San Francisco Giants star Blake Snell exited Sunday's outing against the New York Yankees during the fifth inning with an injury, another wrinkle in what has been an injury-plagued first couple of months of the season for the left-hander.
The Giants announced postgame that Snell was removed from the game after dealing with a tight left groin. He landed on the 15-day IL with a similar injury, a left adductor strain, earlier this season and ended up missing more than a month of action.
Snell threw 99 pitches in the game but couldn't escape the fifth inning before making his leave. The injury appeared to occur in the top of the fifth after he threw a pitch to Alex Verdugo. He walked off the field alongside Giants senior director of athletic training Dave Groeschner.
