Snider is batting .343/.410/.629 in his 39 plate appearances and should see additional playing time while Andrew McCutchen (left oblique) is out of the lineup. He cooled off over the weekend with just one hit in 12 at-bats, but the opportunity will be there for the lefty with Cutch sidelined. Snider holds a .313/.415/.413 slash line in 80 at-bats at PNC Park in 2014, where the Pirates begin an eight-game homestand Tuesday.
