First career save Snead threw 1.1 scoreless innings without allowing a baserunner to earn the save Wednesday against the Angels.

Impact Snead entered the game with a one-run lead and successfully maintained the advantage to tally his first career save. Despite the positive close to the campaign, Snead maintained only a 5.84 ERA with a 35:22 K:BB across 44.2 innings. He is very unlikely to see regular save chances in 2023.

Takes first loss Thursday Snead (1-1) took the loss against the Mariners on Thursday, allowing two earned runs on two hits, a walk and a wild pitch over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Snead's messy line says it all in terms of how much trouble he ran into during his brief 17-pitch outing. The southpaw did inherit a one-on, no-out situation from starter Adrian Martinez, who'd given up a leadoff triple to Ty France, when entering in the sixth; however, he didn't help matters by surrendering an RBI double to Jarred Kelenic, uncorking a wild pitch to move him to third and eventually conceding a two-run two-bagger to Adam Frazier before getting the hook. Snead opened September with three straight scoreless appearances, but he's allowed six earned runs on 10 hits across 4.1 innings over his subsequent five trips to the mound.

JULY 13, 2022 • Associated Press

Impressive in multi-inning outing Snead fired two scoreless innings in a loss to the Astros on Friday, allowing two hits and a walk while recording four strikeouts.

Impact Snead has been impressive since his most recent promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 21, forging a 1.59 ERA and not allowing a home run over 5.2 innings across five appearances. The 27-year-old southpaw is likely to struggle to garner many hold opportunities, much less save chances, as the Athletics have typically found multi-inning leads hard to come by this season.

Recalled by Oakland Snead was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Snead made the Opening Day roster but was sent down after posting an 8.74 ERA and 2.38 WHIP in 11.1 innings of relief. His 4.61 ERA across 13.2 frames for Las Vegas isn't particularly impressive, but it does at least come with a strong 20:3 K:BB.

JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Friday Snead was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

Impact Snead picked up four holds in April, but he struggled over six appearances since the start of May, posting a 15.19 ERA and 3.38 WHIP in 5.1 innings. The southpaw will attempt to sort things out in the minors, while Jacob Lemoine was recalled by the Athletics to take on a bullpen role.

Records fourth hold Snead recorded his fourth hold in a win over the Giants on Wednesday, firing a scoreless one-third of an inning.

Impact The southpaw was brought on to face Brandon Belt in a same-handed matchup with Austin Slater on second base and two out. Snead induced an inning-ending flyout from Belt in a five-pitch at-bat, making it a short but effective night for the 27-year-old. After allowing two earned runs to the Phillies in his first appearance of the season, Snead has now generated six consecutive scoreless efforts.

Put right to work in return Snead (undisclosed) fired a scoreless ninth inning in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, allowing a hit while recording a strikeout.

Impact Snead had spent the prior eight days on the COVID-19 IL, but he didn't miss a beat in his return to action. The southpaw has been serviceable in a relatively low-leverage role thus far, recording a pair of holds alongside a 4.15 ERA across five appearances.

Returns off injured list Snead (undisclosed) was activated from the injured list Saturday.

Impact Snead missed eight days of action and spent time on the COVID-19-related IL, but he is ready to reclaim a spot in Oakland's bullpen. Expect him to work in middle relief for the club moving forward.

APRIL 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to COVID-19 IL Snead (undisclosed) was transferred to the COVID-19 injured list Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Snead was on the restricted list for the series in Canada this past weekend, potentially because he's unvaccinated and unable to travel to Canada, and he's now shifted to the COVID-19 IL. It's unclear whether the 277-year-old has tested positive for the virus, but he'll remain unavailable for now.

Placed on restricted list Snead (undisclosed) was placed on the restricted list ahead of Friday's series opener in Toronto, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Athletics didn't provide a reason for Snead's placement on the restricted list, but it appears likely that the move was made since he's unable to travel to Canada due to being unvaccinated. Zach Logue and Ryan Castellani were called up to provide bullpen depth against the Blue Jays.

Makes Opening Day roster Snead will open the season as one of three left-handers in the Athletics' bullpen, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Snead just arrived in Oakland on March 16 as part of the trade that sent Matt Chapman to the Blue Jays, and he put together a solid spring that included a 1-0 record and 3.60 ERA across five innings in six appearances. The 27-year-old also made an impression during his first taste of the big leagues last season in Toronto, recording a 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in seven outings. He'll likely see plenty of matchup-based work to start the season in a fluid role behind closer Lou Trivino.
