Brandon Snyder is expected to be placed on the disabled list.

The full extent of the injury (or when it occurred) isn't yet known, but Snyder hasn't played since Wednesday. The Red Sox will recall Will Middlebrooks to replace him on the active roster.

Brandon Snyder homered off David Price for the Red Sox's only run in Monday's loss to the Rays.

Unfortunately, that homer probably bought him the at-bat against Joel Peralta in the eighth in which he hit a routine fly to left with the tying run on third. If not for the homer, there's a good chance Mike Carp, a better bat against righties, would have been up in his place. The medium-depth fly ended up resulting in an out at home plate because Jerry Meals was in terrible position and blew the call, denying Snyder a sac fly and the Red Sox the tying run in a game they lost 2-1.

Brandon Snyder hit a bases-loaded, three-run double to help the Red Sox beat the Padres on Tuesday.

Snyder was playing third base as Jose Iglesias manned shortstop, and he made his presence felt with the double in the fourth inning. He has five RBI in just three games since being recalled and could continue to see at-bats while Stephen Drew is ailing. Despite that, there's still little reason to pay him any mind in fantasy leagues as of now.

Red Sox purchased the contract of 1B/3B Brandon Snyder from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Snyder will replace the demoted Will Middlebooks on the active roster. The 26-year-old was hitting .267/.338/.470 through 63 games this season in Triple-A and will function as a backup at first base and the hot corner.

Red Sox signed 1B Brandon Snyder to a minor league contract.

This confirms a report by Chris Cotillo. Snyder was released by the Rangers last week, but it didn't take him long to find a new home. The versatile 26-year-old will report to Triple-A Pawtucket and could be an option for the big club if there's an injury.

Rangers released 1B Brandon Snyder.

It was a move that was asked for by the 26-year-old, as it seemed he wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster. Snyder failed to earn a bench role this spring, hitting .154 in 26 Cactus League at-bats.

Brandon Snyder hit his first Cactus League home run in the Rangers 4-3 win over the A's Saturday.

Snyder was a non-roster invitee to spring training this year, so he'll need a lot more days like Saturday to win a bench role. The 26-year-old hit .277/.309/.446 in 69 plate appearances with the Rangers last season.

Rangers re-signed 1B Brandon Snyder to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Snyder was non-tendered by the Rangers last month, but the two sides have worked out an agreement that will keep him in the organization. The 26-year-old batted .277/.309/.446 in 69 plate appearances this summer.

Rangers non-tendered 1B Brandon Snyder.

The 26-year-old Snyder held his own, hitting .277/.309/.446 with three homers and nine RBI in 65 at-bats with the Rangers in 2012. He'll be an intriguing option for team's looking for depth at the position.

Snyder gets the boot to clear a 25-man roster spot for the promotion of top third base prospect Mike Olt.

Brandon Snyder hit a pinch-hit solo homer in the ninth inning on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to best the Royals.

Snyder is now hitting .333 with three homers and eight RBI in just 30 at-bats for the Rangers. Should he find his way into regular playing time at first base or in the outfield, he would become a very intriguing sleeper for those in deeper mixed and AL-only fantasy leagues.

Brandon Snyder teed off against his former team Monday, going 3-for-5 with a homer and six RBI in a win over the Orioles.

With Adrian Beltre ailing, Snyder got the start at the hot corner and came up big. He's proved to be a decent spot starter for manager Ron Washington, as he also went deep last week in his last start. The reality, though, is that his playing time will be limited, as will his fantasy value.

Brandon Snyder hit his first big-league homer and walked Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Snyder has made four starts against lefties this season and gone 5-for-13 in those games. He has just one additional at-bat off the bench. Unless he sees his role expand, he won't have any fantasy value at all. Still, up to this point, he's done nice work for Texas.

Orioles optioned INF Brandon Snyder to Triple-A Norfolk.

Derrick Lee will return from the bereavement list on Tuesday, so Snyder heads back down. He got one start during this short stint in the bigs, going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Rays.

Snyder picked up two hits in nine at-bats while up with the big club for the last week. He's clearing a spot for Craig Tatum.

Snyder, 24, has posted a decent .798 OPS, five home runs and 16 RBI over 35 games this season at the Triple-A level. He should see some action at first base.

Brandon Snyder is expected to be called up to replaced the injured Derrek Lee (oblique) on the roster.

Snyder is batting .276/.342/.455 with five home runs at Triple-A Norfolk. He should be in line for some playing time at first base with Lee out, but the Orioles figure to move Luke Scott to first on most days, with Felix Pie taking over in left field.

Brandon Snyder went 3-for-4 with a homer and a double Saturday against the Astros.

It doesn't look like Snyder is going to make it as an everyday first baseman, so the Orioles have let him resume working out as a catcher in an attempt to increase his versatility. Even though he's hitting .360 in 24 at-bats, he's not a realistic candidate to win a bench spot coming out of spring training.

Brandon Snyder will get an opportunity to catch this spring.

Snyder was originally drafted as a catcher in 2005, but moved to first base after shoulder surgery and the emergence of Matt Wieters in the organization. The 24-year-old hasn't developed enough pop to be a legitimate option at first base, but getting back behind the plate -- even in an emergency capacity -- could improve his chances of earning a spot on a major league roster.

Orioles recalled 1B Brandon Snyder from Triple-A Norfolk.

Snyder was batting .257/.324/.407 with nine homers and 43 RBI over 339 at-bats with the Tides. The former 2005 first-round pick has failed to develop much power at all, limiting his long-term upside at a power position.
