SOURCES: ANDUJAR, DE LOS SANTOS, PERDOMO ON WAIVERS
The Pirates aren't done clearing roster space yet, either. Per sources, they have placed outfielder/third baseman Miguel Andújar and relievers Yerry De Los Santos and Angel Perdomo on waivers.
Andújar had a good September cameo with the Pirates and was one of their top hitters in Class AAA Indianapolis, but was designated for assignment twice in 2023 and didn't have a clear pathway to consistent playing time moving forward given the Pirates' crowded outfield mix and having Ke'Bryan Hayes at third base.
If he clears waivers, Andújar can declare free agency, so this seems to signal that his time with the Pirates has come to a close.
De Los Santos has recorded a 4.18 ERA over parts of two major-league seasons with the Pirates. Perdomo -- who ended the season on the 60-day injured list -- had a 3.72 ERA over 29 innings with the Pirates this year.
The Pirates' roster was officially at 37 after their moves earlier Thursday.
