Eligibility
Blake Snell will start for the Giants in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
Snell will take the mound in the first game with Hayden Birdsong starting in Game 2 later in the day. Snell allowed two runs over six innings in his last start against the Dodgers.
Blake Snell pitched a respectable game, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a solid performance that could have led to a win on another day, Snell's season continues to be marred by a high ERA and lack of victories. His 5.83 ERA and 0-3 record prior to this game reflect a season of struggles, although his decent K/9 rate and FIP suggest there might be some underlying skills worth betting on in fantasy. However, his inconsistency and the Giants' inability to convert his starts into wins make him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
Blake Snell delivered a stellar performance in Tuesday's narrow 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays. He allowed no earned runs on just one hit and three walks while striking out three over five innings.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his strong outing, Snell's season has been marred by a high 7.85 ERA and a 1.74 WHIP, which suggests his overall effectiveness has been lacking. This game could be a turning point for Snell, who has struggled with consistency and control, as evidenced by his 2.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fantasy managers should remain cautious but consider this performance a positive sign that Snell might be starting to turn things around. However, his high ERA and WHIP still make him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
The Giants have activated Blake Snell (groin) from the injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Snell is returning from a groin injury for the second time this season. He is making the start Tuesday night against the Blue Jays.
Blake Snell (groin) is expected to be activated from the IL Tuesday and start against Toronto.
Fantasy Impact
Snell pitched well in his final rehab assignment and was able to pitch five innings, so he should be on a normal workload for his return. This will be his second return from a groin injury this season.
