ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Rays ace Blake Snell is scheduled to start against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday in his return from a fractured right fourth toe.
The announcement Tuesday was made two days after Rays manager Kevin Cash said the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner was ready to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list.
Snell threw 18 pitches off a mound Saturday and an eight-pitch bullpen session Monday.
"It felt good and I'm ready to go," Snell said.
Snell hurt the toe attempting to move a decorative display in a bathroom on April 14.
