Snyder re-signed Thursday with the Nationals on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snyder had been included in the Nationals' 60-man player pool for the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, but he remained at Washington's alternate training site all season without receiving a callup. Though he'll get the chance to compete for a bench role with the big club in spring training, Snyder is more realistically headed for Triple-A Fresno to begin the 2021 season.

Snyder has been named to the Nationals' 60-man player pool, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old gives the Nats some additional depth at the corner infield spots in case Ryan Zimmerman, who has a newborn baby at home, elects not to risk exposure to COVID-19. Snyder last saw big-league action in 2018 with the Rays and hit .257 with 31 homers in 117 games for Triple-A Fresno last year.

The Nationals reassigned Snyder to their minor-league camp Wednesday, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snyder slugged two home runs and drove in eight over his 25 Grapefruit League at-bats, but it wasn't enough to boost his long-shot odds of breaking camp with the big club. Expect him to report to Triple-A Fresno to begin the campaign.

Snyder went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and a strikeout in Saturday's spring win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Snyder pinch ran for Juan Soto during the fifth inning and remained in left field for the Nationals. The 32-year-old joined the team on a minor-league deal in January and is a longshot to crack the Opening Day roster given Washington's infield depth.

Snyder signed a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training with the Nationals on Tuesday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snyder had a brief stint in the majors with the Rays last season, but has otherwise seen minimal MLB action since 2013. The 32-year-old did manage a .907 OPS over 47 plate appearances with the Braves in 2016, but 10 of his 11 hits went for extra-bases, which was clearly unsustainable. Snyder will most likely serve as organizational depth for Washington's infield.

Snyder cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snyder was designated for assignment Friday by the Rays after spending three days on the 40-man roster. The 31-year-old should continue to serve as organizational infield depth for Tampa Bay.

Snyder was designated for assignment by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snyder was up for all of three days before being removed from the roster in order to make room for Brad Miller, who returns from his stay on the disabled list with a groin injury. Snyder doesn't have a profile that makes him particularly likely to be claimed, as he's a 31-year-old with just 211 career plate appearances and a .276 on-base percentage, so he has a good chance of returning to the Rays' organization as minor-league depth.

Snyder was called up Tuesday to replace the injured Matt Duffy (hamstring), Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy will be out at least ten days with a hamstring strain, though early indications are that his recovery time will be short, so Snyder may not be up for long. The 31-year-old has played all four corner positions in his major-league career, though he's appeared in the big leagues in just one of the last four seasons. He has a bit of pop (.459 career slugging percentage) but his .279 career on-base percentage makes him a pretty classic Quad-A player. Don't expect much in his limited time with the Rays.

Snyder will not make the Rays' Opening Day roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snyder was vying for one of the Rays' final Opening Day roster spots, but the team ultimately decided to turn elsewhere for a reserve outfielder. The 31-year-old Snyder, who hasn't appeared in the majors since 2016, will report to Triple-A Durham to open the season. He should serve as organizational outfield depth.

Snyder is competing for the final reserve outfield spot on the Rays' active roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old's main competition in this position battle is Jason Coats, but Micah Johnson is also in the mix to an extent. Manager Kevin Cash expressed a desire to have another right-handed bat in the outfield mix, making Snyder an attractive candidate in that sense. His spring stats also make a good case for him (6-for-21, two extra-base hits). He wouldn't garner much playing time as the roster is constructed now, but Snyder still seems to be in a good place as the regular season nears.
