Snelling underwent internal brace surgery Friday to repair a torn UCL in his left elbow. The Marlins had indicated previously that Snelling would require Tommy John surgery, so it's a 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.

Robert Snelling: Breaking News
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. It's not a surprising development after Snelling was diagnosed with a sprained UCL last week and moved from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL earlier Thursday. With it being a full Tommy John repair rather than an internal brace 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. 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.
