He then felt discomfort in his elbow on May 12 following a bullpen session. The team shut Snelling down from throwing at that point and placed him on the 15-day injured list. He visited Dr. Keith Meister on Thursday and the decision for Tommy John surgery was made following that consultation.<\/p>\n<p>The Marlins on Thursday moved Snelling to the 60-day injured list in anticipation of his surgery as part of a slew of roster moves ahead of their series finale against the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n<p>Miami also placed infielder Leo Jimenez on the seven-day injured list with concussion symptoms, recalled infielder Graham Pauley from Triple A Jacksonville and acquired outfielder Rece Hinds from the Cincinnati Reds for minor-league pitcher Zach McCambley. Hinds will report to Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p class=\"summary gray\">This story was originally published May 21, 2026 at 3:38 PM.<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/profile\/218644615\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779395649_544_JordanMcPherson (1).JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Profile Image of Jordan McPherson\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                <a class=\"author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/profile\/218644615\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jordan McPherson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Miami Herald<\/p>\n<p>            Jordan McPherson covers the Miami Hurricanes and Florida Panthers for the Miami Herald.
