Snyder feels better after back surgery
Chris Snyder noticed the difference almost immediately.
The D-backs’ catcher underwent microdiscectomy surgery on his back on Wednesday, and not long after the anesthesia wore off he knew his back was better.
“It’s completely different now,” he said by phone Monday. “I feel much better. Obviously, it’s still sore from where they did the incision, but as far as what I felt before, that’s gone. There’s no more shooting pain down my leg.”
Snyder’s back has bothered him almost all season, and it finally landed him on the disabled list June 23. If he had to do it all over again, Snyder would have had the surgery at that time and possibly missed the rest of the season.

D-backs looking to finish season strong
The last few weeks of a baseball season pose many challenges physically and mentally. They are even greater for a team like the D-backs that will not be going to the playoffs.
“I think everybody at this point in the season is worn down, but the adrenaline that kicks in when you’re in a pennant race can take over,” D-backs manager A.J. Hinch said. “When you’re not in the pennant race and you’re physically worn down or mentally down you have to dig down very deep to get yourself out of that rut.”
That’s the challenge the D-backs face right now, with several young players still trying to get established in the Majors.
“It’s all part of growing and maturing into a productive big leaguer for 162 games,” Hinch said.

Reynolds rings Bell in ninth for Haren
Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao may have thrown out the ceremonial first pitch on Tuesday night, but it was Mark Reynolds who provided the knockout punch at PETCO Park.
Reynolds slammed his 42nd home run, a two-run shot off Heath Bell in the top of the ninth inning, to snap a 2-2 tie and give the D-backs and pitcher Dan Haren a 4-2 victory over the Padres.
Eric Byrnes accounted for the first two D-backs’ runs. He hit his sixth home run off Padres starter Wade LaBlanc in the third inning to give Arizona a 1-0 lead and then doubled home Brandon Allen in the seventh, tying the game at 2.

Gonzalez, who was hired by the organization in late August as an assistant to team president and CEO Derrick Hall, will headline eight players from the 2001 World Series championship team who will serve as coaches during the camp.

D-backs claim righty Mulvey from Twins
On Monday night, D-backs manager A.J. Hinch said goodbye to a pitcher midway through the game as veteran Jon Garland was dealt to the Dodgers.
On Tuesday, he looked forward to greeting a new addition to his staff during the game.
The D-backs claimed Kevin Mulvey off waivers from the Twins’ organization and will send cash considerations to Minnesota for the right-hander. He was expected to arrive at Dodger Stadium after game time. In a separate but related move, the D-backs announced they will receive cash considerations from the Twins, who claimed D-backs right-hander Jon Rauch on waivers on Aug. 28.
