Travis Snider singled, homered, drew a walk, and scored three runs as the Pirates emerged victorious against the Dodgers by a 6-1 margin on Wednesday.

Snider's second-inning solo home run off of Dan Haren was his first easy trot around the bases since June 22. He has played sparingly and carries a mediocre .252/.333/.374 slash line along with five home runs and 17 RBI in 184 plate appearances.

Travis Snider went 2-for-3 with his fourth home run of the season in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Getting a rare start in place of Starling Marte, Snider connected on a Jason Hammel pitch to give the Pirates an early lead. Snider also singled in the game, and his two hits were more than he'd had combined since June 9. He'll continue to be a part-time player in a loaded outfield and may even be a roster casualty when Neil Walker returns from injury next week.

Travis Snider was reinstated from his suspension on Sunday May 11.

Major League Baseball has upheld Travis Snider's two-game suspension.

The suspension was for his involvement in last month's brawl with the Brewers. Snider will begin serving the suspension Friday.

Serving as the leadoff hitter for the second time this month, Travis Snider went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

Snider also drew a walk and drove in what turned out to be the deciding runs in the second inning. The Pirates have moved Starling Marte down in the batting order as they try to get him going, which means unconventional leadoff hitters like Snider have gotten a shot in the leadoff spot. Marte will eventually return to the top of the order.

Travis Snider is appealing his two-game suspension.

Snider was handed the punishment for his involvement in Sunday's benches-clearing brawl at PNC Park. He will be available to play until his appeal is heard by MLB.

Travis Snider was suspended two games by MLB for his actions in Sunday's benches-clearing brawl with the Brewers.

Snider was right in the middle of the fracas, tackling Carlos Gomez before eventually being punched by Martin Maldonado, so it's not surprising to see him get punished. No word yet on whether he will appeal the suspension or begin serving it immediately.

Travis Snider suffered a black eye and a cut under his left eye as a result of Sunday's benches-clearing brawl with the Brewers.

Fortunately, he managed to avoid a fracture or a concussion, and is fine to play Monday. Snider is likely looking at a suspension for his actions during the fracas.

Travis Snider came off the bench to hit a two-run homer Thursday against the Cubs.

Snider didn't start against the lefty Travis Wood, but he hit for Clint Barmes as soon as Brian Schlitter took over and launched his second homer of the year. Jose Tabata is also off to a nice start, so those two will continue to split time in right field for now.

Travis Snider went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.

Snider took Jason Hammel deep in the seventh inning, one of the Pirates' five home runs in the game. Snider has yet to live up to the hype he received as a prospect and he's running out of time.

Snider missed the first three games with a cut finger on his left hand.

Travis Snider got the stitches removed from a finger on his left hand and will be the designated hitter in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Travis Snider (finger) took batting practice Wednesday.

Snider cut a finger on his left hand with a kitchen knife a few days ago, but it wasn't a major concern. The 26-year-old batted just .215/.281/.333 with five homers in 285 plate appearances last season and projects to open 2014 as a backup outfielder.

Travis Snider is currently shut down from throwing after injuring a finger on his left hand while cutting sweet potatoes.

Really. It doesn't sound like a major concern at this time, but we have an early entrant in 2014's most comical injuries. On the bright side, Snider is now fully recovered from October surgery to remove bone spurs from his left foot.

Pirates avoided arbitration with OF Travis Snider by agreeing to a one-year, $1.2 million contract.

Snider was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The former top prospect has batted just .241/.303/.398 over his first six seasons and could be a non-tender candidate next winter if he doesn't pick it up this season.

Travis Snider had surgery on his left foot two weeks after the season.

The surgery remedied a joint issue and bone spurs. The injury would help explain why he faded so badly down the stretch. Snider batted just .215/.281/.333 with five home runs and 25 RBI over 285 plate appearances this past season and will have to earn his way back into the Pirates' good graces in 2014.

Travis Snider is not on the Pirates' NLDS roster.

Snider batted .157/.189/.294 over the final two months of the season. The other notable absence from Pittsburgh's Division Series roster is catcher Tony Sanchez. The best-of-five begins Thursday evening in St. Louis.

Pirates activated OF Travis Snider from the 15-day disabled list.

Snider has been sidelined since late July with an injured toe. He should see some starts against right-handed pitching, though with Marlon Byrd now around, they might be few and far between.
