The Cubs signed Snider to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic report.

EDGE Analysis

Snider had a breakout 2024 season in Seattle but struggled with the Mariners in 2025, collecting a 5.47 ERA and 24:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings. He missed time around midseason with a flexor strain but is healthy now.

The Mariners outrighted Snider to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Snider was activated from the 15-day injured list and designated for assignment Wednesday but will end up sticking around in the organization after clearing waivers. The right-handed reliever has made 24 appearances out of the Seattle bullpen this season, logging a 5.47 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB in 26.1 innings.

The Mariners reinstated Snider (forearm) from the 15-day injured list before designating him for assignment Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snider was serving as the Mariners' setup man before landing on the 15-day IL in early June due to a right forearm flexor strain. He was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment in early July, but he will not be part of the big club's bullpen moving forward after the Mariners acquired Caleb Ferguson from the Pirates on Wednesday.

Snider (forearm) began a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, giving up two hits and no walks in one scoreless inning. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Snider threw 12 pitches in his return to game action, entering the final stages of his recovery from a right forearm flexor strain. It's unclear if the Mariners have an eye toward having him rejoin the major-league roster before the All-Star break, but the right-hander will figure to need a handful of rehab outings before being activated from the injured list. Before going down on June 4, Snider held a 5.47 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB with four holds across 26.1 innings.

The Mariners placed Snider on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right forearm flexor strain.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the year with a 3.52 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 23 innings, Snider has given up nine runs (seven earned) in only 3.1 frames across his last three appearances, and it's possible his forearm had something to do with his sudden drop in performance. He'll spend at least the next 15 days on the shelf; meanwhile, Casey Legumina will come up from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the vacancy in the Mariners' bullpen.

Snider recorded two outs in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Astros. He allowed one walk and struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

A steady campaign continues for Snider, who's now registered at least one punchout in each of his last eight appearances. The 29-year-old right-hander has turned in seven scoreless outings among his last 10 games, during which he owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB covering 10.2 innings. Snider has four holds to zero save opportunities this season, so he's set to continue serving as a setup man for lights-out closer Andres Munoz in the future.

Snider (3-4) was charged with the extra-inning loss against the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on one hit over two innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Snider was a tough-luck loser and victim of the Mariners' offensive ineptitude Wednesday, as he put together a near-perfect outing that saw him throw 17 of 20 pitches for strikes. However, the right-hander faltered in the 10th inning by allowing a leadoff double to Anthony Rizzo, which plated phantom runner Jasson Dominguez to snap a 1-1 tie. Snider has given up just one earned run over his last 9.2 innings (nine appearances), and although he does have four holds to show for it, he's also taken two of his four losses on the season during that stretch.

Snider (3-3) took the loss against the Rangers on Thursday, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits over two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Snider was entrusted with protecting a 4-2 lead when he entered in the seventh, but he allowed a one-out solo home run to Marcus Semien and was ultimately charged with two unearned runs that were aided by a Luke Raley error. Snider saw a six-appearance scoreless streak snapped with the stumble, which also resulted in his first loss since Aug. 14. The right-hander has been one of the most trusted members of the Mariners' bullpen all season, as he's carrying a 1.49 ERA across 36.1 innings (37 appearances) despite Thursday's outing.

Snider (3-2) got the extra-inning win over the Giants on Friday, firing a scoreless 10th inning during which he issued an intentional walk and recorded two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Snider was called on to preserve a 5-5 tie in the 10th after Andres Munoz had struck out the side in the ninth, and the former responded with a crisp showing of his own. The right-hander lowered his season ERA to a stellar 0.98 with what was his 13th consecutive appearance without surrendering an earned run, and he now has four multi-strikeout tallies in his last nine trips to the mound.

Snider (2-2) took the extra-inning loss against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk while recording one strikeout over one-third of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Snider allowed a game-winning double to pinch hitter Akil Baddoo just three batters into his 10th-inning stint on the mound. The right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 10 appearances, although he's invited some trouble by surrendering at least one hit in six of those outings and issuing a free pass in three of them as well. Nevertheless, Snider's impressive swing-and-miss stuff seems to get him out of jams more often than not, as he boasts a 10.1 K/9 and 1.13 ERA across 24 innings this season.
