San Francisco Giants' $62 million signing, Blake Snell, just could not catch a break.
Just as he started to regain his groove, he got injured.
The Giants confirmed that the two-time Cy Young Award winner is bound for the injured list due to a groin injury he suffered during a loss to the New York Yankees.
San Francisco manager Bob Melvin is preparing for the worst, as Snell's groin injury is the same as the one he had in April, which prevented him from joining the team at the start of the season.
"I don't think he's moving around worse than the last time, but I don't know how it's not an IL (situation)."
Blake Snell's injury could slow his return to form
Giants, currently at 29-31 and third in the National League West, needs their star pitcher to dominate again.
Snell seems to be on the way to doing that, but then the injury happened.
"A lot of good stuff's been happening the last couple of weeks to where I was like, OK, it's coming," Snell said.
"We'll get there. I can stay here. There's been a lot that I've learned this year that is going to help me get back quicker and start dominating. It sucks that this happened, but it happened. So face it head on and attack it and get back."
Snell is currently 0-3 with a 9.51 ERA in six starts for the team.
He will undergo an MRI on Monday, and the Giants will decide from there regarding his recovery timeline.
