Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Astros signed OF Brad Snyder to a minor league contract.

Snyder posted a decent .290/.336/.465 batting line this season at the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate in Iowa. But the 29-year-old outfielder has amassed only 37 career plate appearances in the major leagues and probably won't have better luck with Houston. He was selected by the Indians in the first round of the 2003 MLB Amateur Draft.

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Cubs sent OF Brad Snyder outright to Triple-A Iowa.

Snyder cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. While the 29-year-old is well past the days of being considered a top prospect, he's a useful bat to have around at the Triple-A level.

Thu, Jun 16, 2011 10:51:00 AM

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Cubs designated OF Brad Snyder for assignment.

The Cubs needed to add another reliever, so he loses his spot on the bench. Snyder picked up just one hit in nine at-bats after being called up at the end of May. He's likely to clear waivers and remain in the organization.

Sat, Jun 11, 2011 12:50:00 PM

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Cubs purchased the contract of OF Brad Snyder from Triple-A Iowa.

Snyder was mashing at Triple-A, putting up a .342/.374/.568 batting line to go along with seven home runs. He'll see the occasional start in the outfield and provide a left-handed bat off the bench.

Sun, May 29, 2011 12:01:00 PM

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Cubs re-signed OF Brad Snyder to a minor league contract.

He'll get a spring training invite. Snyder, 28, batted .308/.381/.568 with 25 home runs and 106 RBI with Triple-A Iowa this past season. He earned a promotion to the big leagues in September, but went 5-for-27 (.185) with a 12/1 K/BB ratio. The former top prospect is a notorious all-or-nothing hitter, so there's not much projection left.

Wed, Dec 15, 2010 01:00:00 PM

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Brad Snyder has elected to become a free agent.

Snyder, 28, was sent outright to the Triple-A level last week but refused the assignment and will test free agency instead. He turned in a stellar .308/.381/.568 batting line, 25 home runs and 106 RBI this year for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs and should find some offers on the open market.

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Cubs purchased the contract of OF Brad Snyder from Triple-A Iowa.

Snyder, a former 2003 first-round pick of the Indians, batted .308/.381/.568 with 25 home runs and 106 RBI with Triple-A Iowa this season. Now 28 years old, he's no longer considered a prospect, but the call-up is well-deserved.

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Triple-A Iowa's Brad Snyder suffered a broken hand on Monday.

It's a tough break for the former prospect, who is out at least four-to-six weeks. Snyder was getting his career back on track the first six weeks of the season with a .317/.351/.669 line highlighted by 12 home runs and 35 RBI in 35 games.

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Cubs sent outfielder Brad Snyder outright to Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs were just wasting Snyder's time after claiming him off waivers from the Indians last September. They certainly had no intention of giving him a chance to claim a job. Since this is his first outright assignment, he will have to report to Iowa, where he could be a starting outfielder.

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Brad Snyder went 2-for-5 and hit a grand slam as the Cubs crushed the White Sox 13-0 on Saturday.

It's hard to see what use they have for him, but Snyder remains on the Cubs' 40-man roster after being claimed off waivers from the Indians last September. It'd take an injury to an outfielder to give him even a slim chance of landing a bench spot.

Sat, Feb 28, 2009 07:28:00 PM

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Cubs claimed outfielder Brad Snyder off waivers from the Indians.

There was a smidgen of hope that Snyder might yet become a useful player when he hit a respectable .263/.355/.448 in his first year in Triple-A in 2007, but he slipped to .246/.297/.426 in 411 at-bats this season. He's not someone the Cubs should keep on their 40-man roster this winter.

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Indians optioned outfielder Brad Snyder to Triple-A Buffalo.

Snyder didn't make an appearance Sunday in his lone day in the majors.

Mon, Apr 28, 2008 05:00:00 PM

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Indians recalled outfielder Brad Snyder from Triple-A Buffalo.

Snyder will be making his major league debut. He was hitting .236 with five doubles and four home runs in Triple-A. Snyder provides some outfield depth with Grady Sizemore hurting, but probably won't be up for long as the Indians will call up left-handed pitcher Aaron Laffey to start Monday.

Sun, Apr 27, 2008 12:51:00 PM

Brad Snyder - OF - Diamondbacks

Indians optioned OF Brad Snyder to Triple-A Buffalo; reassigned RHP Matt Ginter, RHP Jeff Harris, LHP Rich Rundles, C Armando Camacaro, C David Wallace, INF Aaron Herr and INF Danny Sandoval to minor league camp.

Rick Bauer's departure in the last round of cuts was a bigger surprise than anything in this round. Keeping Snyder on the 40-man roster and not making room for Brian Barton last winter could prove to be a costly mistake for Cleveland. Snyder hit .194/.237/.389 in 36 at-bats this spring.

Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Miguel Montero

	2	Eric Hinske
2B	1	Aaron Hill D.L. Aaron Hill will have his left hand examined by a doctor next Monday. That will be two weeks after Hill was hoping to get the go-ahead to resume baseball activities, as his fractured hand is healing much slower than expected. The original timetable had him possibly returning by late May, but he probably won't be activated until well into June now. May 21
	2	Willie Bloomquist D.L. Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month. May 19

LF	1	Jason Kubel

CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Thursday that Adam Eaton will "probably" get a second opinion on his left elbow from Dr. James Andrews in the coming days. Eaton was recently pulled off his minor league rehab assignment due to renewed discomfort in his elbow. Towers said an MRI showed fluid around his ulnar collateral ligament, but no new damage was found. As of now, he's expected to rest for 2-3 weeks before restarting his rehab program, but he'll get Andrews' opinion just to be on the safe side. May 23

	3	Trevor Cahill
	4	Wade Miley
	5	Patrick Corbin
	6	Daniel Hudson D.L. Daniel Hudson (elbow) gave up two runs on five hits over four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday. It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation. May 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	J.J. Putz D.L. J.J. Putz (elbow) has been playing catch from 90 feet and doing strengthening exercises, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Saturday. There is still no timetable for a return, and the Diamondbacks will proceed with caution with their 36-year-old closer. But it's promising that Putz is back to throwing less than a month after there were reports he could need season-ending surgery to fix his elbow problems. May 25
