Snider (knee) is "moving around a lot better" per Mariners general manager Justin Hollander, and the reliever could be ready to return from the injured list when first eligible April 23, SeattleSports.com reports.
Snider went on the IL on Monday after taking a triple-digit comebacker off his left knee the day prior against the Brewers. However, it appears Snider is making a quick recovery, and Hollander noted Friday he expects the reliever will be able to complete a short rehab assignment within the next few days.

Mariners' Collin Snider: Nabbed off waivers by Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners claimed Snider off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Snider has made 62 appearances at the big-league level, posting an uninspiring 5.93 ERA and 33:28 K:BB over 54.2 frames. He does boasts a 51.9 percent groundball rate, which gives Seattle something to work with.

Diamondbacks' Collin Snider: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Snider was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Snider is the 40-man roster casualty as the Diamondbacks officially add Joc Pederson. The 28-year-old was a waiver claim of Arizona's last month and will go through that process again. He holds a career 5.93 ERA and 33:28 K:BB over 54.2 innings in the majors.

Diamondbacks' Collin Snider: Claimed by Arizona
Rotowire
Snider was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Monday.
A 28-year-old righty reliever, Snider was designated for assignment by Kansas City last week, but Arizona liked him enough to add him to its 40-man roster. Snider averaged 96-mph with his fastball and logged a 4.87 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 20.1 MLB innings last season. He will likely spend a good chunk of the year at Triple-A, as he has one minor-league option year remaining.

Royals' Collin Snider: Loses 40-man spot
Rotowire
Snider was designated for assignment by the Royals on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
The move was made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for free-agent signee Will Smith. Snider, 28, holds a 5.93 ERA and ugly 33:28 K:BB over 54.2 innings for Kansas City across the last two seasons. He seems likely to clear waivers.

Royals' Collin Snider: Notches first career save
Rotowire
Snider worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his first career save in a 7-6 win over the Guardians.
The Royals continue to mix and match high-leverage relief options as they take a look at bullpen options for 2024. Taylor Clarke, who picked up two saves last weekend, combined with Carlos Hernandez to work the seventh inning, while James McArthur handled the eighth after getting the job done in a save situation Monday. Snider hasn't done much since being called back up in late August to suggest he's well-suited for the closer role, posting a 4:4 K:BB through 9.2 innings, but his 2.79 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over that stretch are at least solid.

Royals' Collin Snider: Set to open Friday's game
Rotowire
The Royals list Snider as their opening pitcher for Friday's game in Toronto.
Friday's game coincides with Alec Marsh's turn in the rotation, so he'll presumably be called upon to work in bulk relief behind Snider, who isn't expected to work more than once through the order given that he hasn't covered more than two innings in any of his 49 appearances in the majors or at Triple-A Omaha this season. Snider has made 10 of those appearances for Kansas City, compiling a 4.22 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB across 10.2 innings.

Royals' Collin Snider: Solid in spring games
Rotowire
Snider has allowed a hit and struck out three over three innings through three Cactus League appearances.
Snider is in contention for a low-leverage role in the the Royals' bullpen. The 27-year-old righty struggled in his first taste of major-league action a year ago, posting a 6.55 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 22:15 K:BB over 34.1 innings, though he also added seven holds and a 4-2 record. It's still too early to tell if he'll make the roster, and given his career 5.92 ERA at the Triple-A level, he could regularly be moved between Kansas City and Omaha this season.

Rotowire
Snider (4-2) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Saturday versus the Astros.
Snider worked the sixth inning after five shutout frames from starter Kris Bubic. In the bottom of the sixth, Salvador Perez opened the scoring with a two-run home run, and the Royals' bullpen protected the lead from there to get Snider his fourth win of the year. The right-hander has been a little inconsistent with runs allowed in six of his last 12 appearances. He has a 6.05 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB through 19.1 innings in 24 appearances overall.

Royals' Collin Snider: Allows run but earns hold
Rotowire
Snider allowed a run on three hits in one inning, earning a hold in a 2-1 win over the White Sox in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Snider hasn't been efficient lately, allowing five runs over his last five innings, but he's managed to pick up three holds and only one blown save in that stretch. The right-hander has allowed just one home run in 15 innings this season while posting a 4.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 12:6 K:BB, six holds and a 2-1 record through 17 appearances. He'll likely continue to see some high-leverage work, but Scott Barlow and Josh Staumont have shared the closing duties almost exclusively this year.

Royals' Collin Snider: Picks up second win
Rotowire
Snider (2-0) earned the win Saturday versus the Tigers. He allowed a hit and struck out one in 1.2 scoreless innings.
Snider has kept runs off the board in all four of his appearances this season, and he's earned the win in two of them. He was able to get the last two outs of the fifth inning and then also pitched the sixth Saturday. The 26-year-old right-hander has added four strikeouts and has yet to walk a batter through four innings. Snider is still likely to see work in the middle innings, but he's quickly building trust with good performances.
