Rays Designate Brandon Snyder For Assignment

By Steve Adams | April 20, 2018 at 1:39pm CDT

The Rays have designated infielder Brandon Snyder for assignment in order to open a spot on the roster for fellow infielder Brad Miller, who is returning from the disabled list (Twitter link via Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times).

Snyder, 28, went 1-for-6 with a double in a pair of games for Tampa Bay after having his contract selected earlier this week. That marked the 31-year-old’s first action at the Major League level since 2016, when he made 47 plate appearances for the rebuilding Braves. The former Orioles prospect was the 13th overall pick back in the 2005 draft but has yet to tally even 70 plate appearances in a single big league season. He’s a career .242/.279/.459 hitter with nine homers in just 205 big league plate appearances and a .259/.326/.426 hitter in 2353 Triple-A plate appearances.

As for Miller, he’ll return after spending nearly two weeks on the shelf with a groin strain. The 28-year-old enjoyed a 30-homer campaign back in 2016 but followed that power surge with the worst offensive campaign of his career. He’s off to a .222/.300/.370 start through 30 plate appearances as he looks to rebound from last year’s down season.

      Doesn’t mean that I don’t wish him all the best. He will emerge again I’m sure.

        I wish him the best as well, maybe he’ll get another chance in either triple a, the mlb, or maybe the independent. geejohnny I knew you wished him well, I just added my own twist to what I think happened. I’m pretty sure Brandon wasn’t happy about getting dfa’d. I don’t think any player would be happy getting dfa’d. Maybe the rays will outright him to triple a and we’ll see him again in a Rays uni.

    Brandon went to my rival high school and I got to know his family a bit through baseball. Good guy, hope he gets picked up somewhere.

    Brandon Snyder is NOT 28 years old. He was drafted by the Orioles in 2005 as an 18 year-old. Thirteen years later and he is currently 31 years old and will be 32 later this year. Bad reporting/editing. Geez.
