The Pirates are optimistic Snider (hamstring) will be able to return to the lineup over the weekend against the Cubs, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. Snider will sit for the sixth straight game Wednesday while he continues to be slowed by the hamstring issue. He was able to log a pinch-hit appearance on Monday and looks to be progressing positively, but it's not certain whether or not he'll be able to reclaim a permanent spot in the lineup once healthy. The recent call-ups of Andrew Lambo and Gregory Polanco have given the Pirates some other options in right field, which could result in something of a three-headed timeshare at the position.
