The left-handed reliever, who was designated for assignment by the Giants on May 28, was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Monday. Baltimore immediately optioned Snelten to Triple-A Norfolk.
The 26-year-old Snelten struggled in four appearances with the Giants this season. He posted a 10.38 ERA in 4.1 innings.
