Kirby Snead

The Mariners called up Kirby Snead from Triple-A Tacoma.

Fantasy Impact

Snead threw one scoreless inning in the Mariners loss on Wednesday against the Twins. He should continue to hold a role in the middle innings of the bullpen for Seattle.

Kirby Snead signed a minor league deal with the Mariners with an invite to Spring Training.

Fantasy Impact

Snead made 15 appearances with the Athletics last season. He elected free agency this offseason and will look to earn a spot in the Mariners bullpen out of Spring Training.

A's left-hander Kirby Snead will make a rehab appearance with Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Snead has yet to pitch in the big leagues this season due to an ongoing left shoulder strain but will take a big step toward a return to a big-league mound on Wednesday. The southpaw posted a 5.84 ERA across 46 relief appearances with the A's last season.

Oakland A's pitcher Kirby Snead has been shut down from throwing after leaving a Feb. 25 Cactus League game with a left shoulder strain.

Fantasy Impact

Snead will need to be discomfort-free before the club gives him the go-ahead to resume throwing. The 28-year-old southpaw got into 46 games with the A's last season, scuffling to a 5.84 ERA and 6.2% K-BB% in that time. Nonetheless, his solid minor-league track record will ensure him a spot in the A's bullpen when healthy.

Kirby Snead pitched 2/3 of an inning on Thursday, walking one, while giving up two hits for two earned runs as he took the loss for the A's in the teams' 9-5 game against the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Snead has been horrendous this season as he has pitched to the tune of an 6.31 ERA with a WHIP of 1.84. The Athletics' reliever has no saves on the season and he holds zero value in fantasy and should remain far from fantasy rosters.
