San Francisco Giants left-handed starter Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday, earone day after leaving a game against the New York Yankees with a left groin strain.

Veteran outfielder Michael Conforto took Snell’s place on the roster. Conforto had been out since May 11 because of a hamstring injury. He entered Monday hitting .280 with seven homers and 20 RBIs this year.

Snell — a two-time Cy Young Award winner — was removed with a 1-1 count on Alex Verdugo with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth inning. A similar injury landed Snell on the IL for a month this year when he was sidelined by a left adductor strain.

Snell is 0-3 with a 9.51 ERA in six starts for San Francisco since signing a $62 million, two-year contract as a free agent. He won the 2023 National League Cy Young Award with San Diego.

ASTROS’ URQUIDY HEADED FOR SURGERY? >> The Houston Astros still aren’t ready to say whether starter José Urquidy is done for the season amid reports that a second Tommy John surgery is possible.

ESPN reported the right-hander would visit Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas and that he was expected to recommend Tommy John surgery.

Urquidy hasn’t pitched this season after straining his right forearm in spring training. He appeared close to coming off the injured list before he left a rehabilitation start for Triple-A Sugar Land with right elbow inflammation on May 24.

The 29-year-old had Tommy John surgery in 2017 and made his big league debut two years later. He was 3-3 with a 5.29 ERA in 10 starts and six relief appearances last season.

In five major league seasons, Urquidy is 27-16 with a 3.98 ERA in 70 starts and nine relief appearances.
