The San Diego Padres looked like they were good on starting pitching depth immediately after the Sean Manaea trade. They had him, Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Mike Clevinger, Joe Musgrove, Chris Paddack, Ryan Weathers, Reiss Knehr, and MacKenzie Gore as their options. Now, four game into the season, the Padres might have gone from nine starters to six if Snell ends up on the injured list.
Snell suffered an adductor strain while warming up right before his scheduled start yesterday and Bob Melvin said after the Padres 10-5 win that Snell is probably going to go on the IL.
