Rangers released 1B Brandon Snyder.

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Brandon Snyder hit his first Cactus League home run in the Rangers 4-3 win over the A's Saturday.

Snyder was a non-roster invitee to spring training this year, so he'll need a lot more days like Saturday to win a bench role. The 26-year-old hit .277/.309/.446 in 69 plate appearances with the Rangers last season.

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Rangers non-tendered 1B Brandon Snyder.

The 26-year-old Snyder held his own, hitting .277/.309/.446 with three homers and nine RBI in 65 at-bats with the Rangers in 2012. He'll be an intriguing option for team's looking for depth at the position.

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Brandon Snyder hit a pinch-hit solo homer in the ninth inning on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to best the Royals.

Snyder is now hitting .333 with three homers and eight RBI in just 30 at-bats for the Rangers. Should he find his way into regular playing time at first base or in the outfield, he would become a very intriguing sleeper for those in deeper mixed and AL-only fantasy leagues.

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Brandon Snyder teed off against his former team Monday, going 3-for-5 with a homer and six RBI in a win over the Orioles.

With Adrian Beltre ailing, Snyder got the start at the hot corner and came up big. He's proved to be a decent spot starter for manager Ron Washington, as he also went deep last week in his last start. The reality, though, is that his playing time will be limited, as will his fantasy value.

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Brandon Snyder hit his first big-league homer and walked Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Snyder has made four starts against lefties this season, going 5-for-13 in those games. He has just one additional at-bat off the bench. Unless he sees his role expand, he won't have any fantasy value at all. Still, up to this point, he's done nice work for Texas.

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Rangers acquired INF Brandon Snyder from the Orioles for cash considerations.

Snyder was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2005 MLB Amateur Draft but has failed to meet the hype. He'll function as organizational infield depth for the Rangers.

Orioles optioned INF Brandon Snyder to Triple-A Norfolk.

Derrick Lee will return from the bereavement list on Tuesday, so Snyder heads back down. He got one start during this short stint in the bigs, going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Rays.

Orioles recalled INF Brandon Snyder from Triple-A Norfolk.

Snyder has two hits in nine at-bats during a couple stints with the O's this season and sports a .253/.309/.432 batting line with eight homers at Norfolk. He'll provide some depth over the weekend while Derrek Lee is on the bereavement list.

Brandon Snyder - 1B - Red Sox

Snyder, 24, has posted a decent .798 OPS, five home runs and 16 RBI over 35 games this season at the Triple-A level. He should see some action at first base.
