Snead cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Snead was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday, but he'll now report to Triple-A after going unclaimed on waivers. The left-hander has appeared in 12 contests with Tacoma this season, producing a 2.92 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 12.1 innings.

The Mariners designated Snead for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Snead had his contract selected by the Mariners on May 8 and has since turned in a 4.35 ERA and 1.84 WHIP while striking out seven batters and walking seven through 10.1 innings. He'll now be pushed off the 40-man to make room for Jhonathan Diaz, who was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move and will start against the White Sox on Tuesday. Snead has found more success in Triple-A with a 2.92 ERA and 0.91 WHIP, which could make him worth a waiver claim for other organizations in need of bullpen depth.

The Mariners selected Snead's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Snead, 29, holds a 2.92 ERA and 13:2 K:BB across 12.1 innings with Tacoma this season. He'll give manager Scott Servais a left-handed relief option.

The Mariners reassigned Snead to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Snead logged 11.2 innings over 15 appearances at the big-league level with Oakland in 2023, but he was never seen as a likely candidate to break camp with a spot in the Seattle bullpen. The 29-year-old southpaw will likely need to string together several quality appearances at Triple-A Tacoma to begin the season before he receives consideration for a promotion to Seattle.

Snead has signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snead, 29, has posted a 5.20 ERA and 51:30 K:BB across 64 innings of relief work during his time in the majors over the last three seasons. The left-hander will probably report to Triple-A Tacoma at the start of the 2024 season.

Oakland outrighted Snead to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Snead, 29, gave up seven runs -- six earned -- on 14 hits and six walks over 11.2 major-league innings this season and also held an ugly 7.59 ERA in 23 appearances at Triple-A. He is now off the Athletics' 40-man roster.

Snead was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Snead holds a 4.63 ERA and 9:6 K:BB over 11.2 relief innings for the Athletics this season. His roster spot is being absorbed by Luis Medina (blister), who is coming off the injured list.

Snead (1-2) took the loss against the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing two earned runs on three hits and a walk over one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Snead was tasked with preserving a 4-3 lead when he entered in the seventh inning, but he put the first three men he faced on base and ultimately allowed a two-run single to J.P. Crawford that gave the Mariners a one-run advantage they wouldn't relinquish. The southpaw's stumble snapped a 10-appearance streak without allowing an earned run and shot Snead's 1.86 ERA and 1.14 WHIP to 3.60 and 1.50, respectively.

Snead (1-1) took the loss against the Nationals on Sunday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk without recording an out.

EDGE Analysis

Snead was called on to put out the fire after Trevor May was bounced around for five runs (three earned) over two-thirds of an inning, but the left-handed Snead wasn't up to the task, either. He issued a bases-loaded walk to the first batter he faced, Dominic Smith, and then saw the final three runs cross the plate courtesy of a fielding error by Nick Allen and a Jeter Downs game-winning RBI single. Snead hadn't allowed a run in the previous 3.1 innings covering his last four appearances, and despite the stumble Sunday, he still carries a solid 3.38 ERA over his first seven outings.

Snead (1-0) recorded the win over the Giants on Sunday, firing a perfect sixth inning during which he struck out the side.

EDGE Analysis

Snead mowed through Austin Slater, J.D. Davis and Michael Conforto on swinging strikes for his trio of punchouts. The left-hander had allowed an earned run on two hits in both of his one-inning appearances following his delayed start to the season, so Sunday's outing, his third since his Aug. 1 debut, was easily his best yet.
