Mariners' Collin Snider: Hit with loss in quality outing
Rotowire
Snider (3-4) was charged with the extra-inning loss against the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on one hit over two innings. He struck out three.
Snider was a tough-luck loser and victim of the Mariners' offensive ineptitude Wednesday, as he put together a near-perfect outing that saw him throw 17 of 20 pitches for strikes. However, the right-hander faltered in the 10th inning by allowing a leadoff double to Anthony Rizzo, which plated phantom runner Jasson Dominguez to snap a 1-1 tie. Snider has given up just one earned run over his last 9.2 innings (nine appearances), and although he does have four holds to show for it, he's also taken two of his four losses on the season during that stretch.

Mariners' Collin Snider: Takes third loss Thursday
Rotowire
Snider (3-3) took the loss against the Rangers on Thursday, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits over two-thirds of an inning.
Snider was entrusted with protecting a 4-2 lead when he entered in the seventh inning, but he allowed a one-out solo home run to Marcus Semien and was charged with two further unearned runs due to a Luke Raley error. Snider saw a six-appearance scoreless streak snapped, while the loss was his first since Aug. 14. The right-hander has been one of the most trusted members of the Mariners' bullpen since coming up for good in late June, as he's carrying a 1.49 ERA across 36.1 innings.

Mariners' Collin Snider: Snags third win Friday
Rotowire
Snider (3-2) got the extra-inning win over the Giants on Friday, firing a scoreless 10th inning during which he issued an intentional walk and recorded two strikeouts.
Snider was called on to preserve a 5-5 tie in the 10th after Andres Munoz had struck out the side in the ninth, and the former responded with a crisp showing of his own. The right-hander lowered his season ERA to a stellar 0.98 with what was his 13th consecutive appearance without surrendering an earned run, and he now has four multi-strikeout tallies in his last nine trips to the mound.

Mariners' Collin Snider: Takes second loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Snider (2-2) took the extra-inning loss against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk while recording one strikeout over one-third of an inning.
Snider allowed a game-winning double to pinch hitter Akil Baddoo just three batters into his 10th-inning stint on the mound. The right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 10 appearances, although he's invited some trouble by surrendering at least one hit in six of those outings and issuing a free pass in three of them as well. Nevertheless, Snider's impressive swing-and-miss stuff seems to get him out of jams more often than not, as he boasts a 10.1 K/9 and 1.13 ERA across 24 innings this season.

Mariners' Collin Snider: Records first win Saturday
Rotowire
Snider (1-1) got the win against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two hits and recording a strikeout over a scoreless inning.
Snider got an early fifth-inning call after starter Bryan Woo exited following 70 pitches due to hamstring tightness. Snider navigated some trouble in his one frame, wiggling out of a jam by retiring Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi with men on second and third. The 28-year-old right-hander now has scoreless efforts in five of the last six appearances, and he's whittled his ERA back down to an elite 1.59 across 17 innings.

Mariners' Collin Snider: Moving around well
Rotowire
Snider (knee) is "moving around a lot better" per Mariners general manager Justin Hollander, and the reliever could be ready to return from the injured list when first eligible April 23, SeattleSports.com reports.
Snider went on the IL on Monday after taking a triple-digit comebacker off his left knee the day prior against the Brewers.

Snider has made 62 appearances at the big-league level, posting an uninspiring 5.93 ERA and 33:28 K:BB over 54.2 frames. He does boasts a 51.9 percent groundball rate, which gives Seattle something to work with.

Rotowire

Snider is the 40-man roster casualty as the Diamondbacks officially add Joc Pederson. The 28-year-old was a waiver claim of Arizona's last month and will go through that process again. He holds a career 5.93 ERA and 33:28 K:BB over 54.2 innings in the majors.

Diamondbacks' Collin Snider: Claimed by Arizona
Rotowire
Snider was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Monday.
A 28-year-old righty reliever, Snider was designated for assignment by Kansas City last week, but Arizona liked him enough to add him to its 40-man roster. Snider averaged 96-mph with his fastball and logged a 4.87 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 20.1 MLB innings last season. He will likely spend a good chunk of the year at Triple-A, as he has one minor-league option year remaining.

Royals' Collin Snider: Loses 40-man spot
Rotowire
Snider was designated for assignment by the Royals on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
The move was made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for free-agent signee Will Smith. Snider, 28, holds a 5.93 ERA and ugly 33:28 K:BB over 54.2 innings for Kansas City across the last two seasons. He seems likely to clear waivers.

Royals' Collin Snider: Notches first career save
Rotowire
Snider worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his first career save in a 7-6 win over the Guardians.
The Royals continue to mix and match high-leverage relief options as they take a look at bullpen options for 2024. Taylor Clarke, who picked up two saves last weekend, combined with Carlos Hernandez to work the seventh inning, while James McArthur handled the eighth after getting the job done in a save situation Monday. Snider hasn't done much since being called back up in late August to suggest he's well-suited for the closer role, posting a 4:4 K:BB through 9.2 innings, but his 2.79 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over that stretch are at least solid.

Royals' Collin Snider: Set to open Friday's game
Rotowire
The Royals list Snider as their opening pitcher for Friday's game in Toronto.
Friday's game coincides with Alec Marsh's turn in the rotation, so he'll presumably be called upon to work in bulk relief behind Snider, who isn't expected to work more than once through the order given that he hasn't covered more than two innings in any of his 49 appearances in the majors or at Triple-A Omaha this season. Snider has made 10 of those appearances for Kansas City, compiling a 4.22 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB across 10.2 innings.

Royals' Collin Snider: Solid in spring games
Rotowire
Snider has allowed a hit and struck out three over three innings through three Cactus League appearances.
Snider is in contention for a low-leverage role in the the Royals' bullpen. The 27-year-old righty struggled in his first taste of major-league action a year ago, posting a 6.55 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 22:15 K:BB over 34.1 innings, though he also added seven holds and a 4-2 record. It's still too early to tell if he'll make the roster, and given his career 5.92 ERA at the Triple-A level, he could regularly be moved between Kansas City and Omaha this season.
