Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Chris Snyder(notes), left, manager Cint Hurdle, Lyle Overbay(notes) (37), Brandon Wood(notes) (2), Neil Walker(notes) (18) and Ronny Cedeno(notes) (5) wait on a pitching change during the seventh inning of a baseball game against the New York Mets Monday, May 30, 2011 at Citi Field in New York. The Mets defeated the Pirates 7-3.

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed Chris Snyder on the disabled list Thursday with a herniated disk, meaning the team's top three catchers are injured. Snyder is scheduled for back surgery on Friday. To take his place on the roster, Pittsburgh purchased the contract of Wyatt Toregas from Triple-A Indianapolis -- where he was hitting .034 (1 for 29).
