Blake Snell, last year’s National League Cy Young Award recipient, is readying for a significant comeback with two scheduled starts this week, the first against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. Both teams are striving for momentum as they hover below a .500 record. The Giants have been resilient, claiming victories in three of their last four series against formidable opponents. They hope to maintain this upward trajectory with the return of Snell, who has been sidelined due to a groin injury.
Snell’s history against the Jays includes a balanced 4-4 record and a strong 2.74 ERA across 14 starts, offering hope for a robust return. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are entering the series after a set of close games against Seattle, looking to leverage their new prospect, Leo Jimenez, and experienced pitcher Yusei Kikuchi in the series opener. This matchup between Snell and Kikuchi could be pivotal for both teams as they aim to end the first half of the season on a high note.
