Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder won’t need surgery after all.
Snyder, on the 15-day disabled list with a [i][b]left testicular fracture[/b][/i], visited a specialist on Wednesday and was told surgery wouldn’t be necessary.
Snyder was struck by a foul tip in the fourth inning of Monday night’s game.
---------------------------------
I did not know that was possible. Ouch
He was placed on the DL on Tuesday and the expectation is he will be ready to return after the All-Star break, when the Diamondbacks resume play July 18.
