Slated for nano scope procedure
Snell (elbow) will undergo the same "nano scope" procedure Tuesday that Tarik Skubal had earlier in May, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Analyse
The Dodgers commented earlier in the day Monday that they weren't yet sure what type of surgery Snell would be slated for, but general manager Brandon Gomes has since confirmed that it will be the nano scope procedure for the southpaw. This is promising news for fantasy managers, as this type of procedure is thought to give Snell a chance to return in 4-to-6 weeks. A timetable for his return likely won't become clear until after the procedure.

Scheduled for surgery Tuesday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Snell will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Roberts relayed that he isn't sure if Snell will have the same type of surgery as Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (elbow), which carries a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline. That would shelve Snell until at least early July, but he would be looking at an even longer absence if the procedure is more intensive. Regardless, the Dodgers are optimistic that the southpaw will be cleared to return before the end of the season.

Lands on IL with elbow injury
The Dodgers placed Snell on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, due to loose bodies in his left elbow, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analyse
Snell was scratched from Friday's start against the Angels, and it's clear now why that was necessary. If he needs to undergo surgery like he did in 2019 for the same issue, then he's looking at 2-to-3 months on the shelf, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Southpaw Charlie Barnes was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Scratched from Friday's start
Snell has been scratched from his scheduled start Friday against the Angels, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
There's no word yet on the reasoning behind the decision or when Snell might be ready to take the ball again, but the Dodgers should have more clarity on the southpaw's condition soon. The Dodgers are slated to go with a bullpen game Friday, with Will Klein likely to take the mound first.
