Travis Snider (hamstring) struck out as a pinch-hitter in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.

It was Snider's first appearance in a game since tweaking his right hamstring last Tuesday. He's getting closer to returning to the lineup.

Travis Snider returned to action on Monday September 10.

Travis Snider (hamstring) is available to pinch-hit Friday.

Snider hasn't played since tweaking his right hamstring Tuesday. It might be a few more days before he's ready to return to the starting lineup.

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Wednesday that Travis Snider (hamstring) will need "a few days."

Snider tweaked his troublesome right hamstring on Tuesday night. He should be back sometime this weekend.

Travis Snider returned to action on Friday August 17.

Travis Snider returned to action on Wednesday August 15.

Travis Snider left Tuesday's game against the Dodgers for precautionary reasons after aggravating his right hamstring.

Snider was back in the lineup Tuesday for the first time since Saturday. However, he tweaked his hamstring again on a double in the bottom of the third inning and was removed for a pinch-hitter in the eighth. It doesn't appear to be a major concern at the moment, but the Pirates could give him another couple days off.

Travis Snider is not in the Pirates' lineup Monday due to a tight right hamstring.

Snider didn't start Sunday's game, either. He's receiving treatment, and manager Clint Hurdle is hoping to have the outfielder available off the bench.

Pirates acquired OF Travis Snider from the Blue Jays for RHP Brad Lincoln.

An interesting pickup for the Pirates, who have been connected to bigger names like Justin Upton and Shane Victorino in recent weeks. The 24-year-old Snider has stumbled in multiple opportunities in the majors and may always be a free-swinger, but he still has the potential to be a legitimate middle-of-the-order power threat. It's a nice under-the-radar move by Pirates GM Neal Huntington.

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Travis Snider will play regularly at one of the corner outfield spots.

He'll get one and Anthony Gose will get the other, with Rajai Davis moving back into a part-time role. Whoever plays better over the next couple weeks will stay on the roster after Jose Bautista (wrist) returns. Snider batted .335/.423/.598 with 13 homers and 56 RBI over 56 games at Triple-A this season and is worth a gamble in deeper mixed leagues.

Travis Snider is headed to Boston to meet up with the Blue Jays, but he's likely around as insurance in case Brett Lawrie (calf) needs to go on the disabled list.

At last report, Lawrie was hoping to be back in the lineup Friday after suffering a right calf contusion Wednesday, but it's possible his condition could worsen. Snider was passed over by Anthony Gose earlier this week when Jose Bautista went on the DL, but he's had a big -- albeit injury-shortened -- year at Triple-A Las Vegas, batting .325/.409/.567 with 13 homers and 57 RBI over 61 games.

Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday that there is no timetable for Travis Snider's return to the majors.

Anthopoulos wants Snider to start regularly when he returns to Toronto. "I don't think right now there is playing time," Anthopoulos said. "Rajai (Davis) has played so well and Colby (Rasmus) is also playing well." The 24-year-old is playing well at the Triple-A level, but Anthopoulos in the end will determine his destiny. "If he keeps doing what heƒ?Ts doing," Anthopoulos said, "he'll find his way back but right now Raj hasn't done anything to lose that job."

Travis Snider took himself out of a game for Triple-A Las Vegas this past Wednesday after aggravating his right wrist injury.

Snider is still feeling symptoms when swinging a bat. He's batting a cool .333/.411/.604 with five dingers for Vegas this season but obviously won't be a candidate for recall until he's healthy.

Travis Snider (wrist) is aiming to return to the lineup at Triple-A Las Vegas later this week.

Snider has been on the minor league disabled list since suffering a jammed right wrist after running into an outfield wall in late April. The 24-year-old is batting .400 with four home runs, 23 RBI and a 1.170 OPS in 19 games this year at the Triple-A level. He should be up in the major leagues at some point this summer.

Travis Snider was not activated from Triple-A Las Vegas' disabled list because his wrist "didn't feel right" during a round of batting practice.

He's already had an MRI, which came back clean. Snider will continue trying to take batting practice and will be activated once he's pain-free. The 24-year-old outfield is hitting .400 (30-for-75) with four homers, 23 RBI and a 1.170 OPS over his first 19 games this season at the Triple-A level.

Blue Jays manager John Farrell confirmed that Travis Snider's MRI came back negative.

Snider jammed his wrist in a minor league game Thursday. He'll likely be placed on the seven-day disabled list with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Travis Snider left Thursday's game with Triple-A Las Vegas for an unspecified reason.

Snider was 0-for-1 with a walk before getting pulled. The only thing we do know is that it didn't have anything to do with a promotion. Stay tuned for an update on his status.

Travis Snider jammed his middle finger Friday night with Triple-A Las Vegas while diving back into first base.

X-rays came back negative and the injury isn't believed to be serious. Consider him day-to-day right now.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Blue Jays haven't drawn much trade interest in Travis Snider.

One likely reason for the lack of interest is that teams know the Jays are unlikely to deal him while his value is low. Snider batted .271 (13-for-48) with four homers and 16 RBI this spring, but he was demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday after losing the starting left field job to Eric Thames. Still, we suspect the 24-year-old will find his way back to the majors before long.

Blue Jays optioned OF Travis Snider and 1B David Cooper to Triple-A Las Vegas; reassigned C Yan Gomes, INF Jonathan Diaz and INF Chris Woodward to minor league camp.

This means that Eric Thames will start in left for Toronto. It's unclear what the Jays plan to do with Snider. Still just 24, the young slugger posted a 1.005 OPS this spring. Perhaps the organizational will look to trade him. Cooper, another trade candidate, is blocked at first base by Adam Lind, who is under team control through 2016 at a team-friendly rate. The 24-year-old prospect batted .364/.439/.535 with nine home runs, 51 doubles and 96 RBI in 120 games last year at the Triple-A level. He was the 17th overall pick in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft.
