CBS Sports Josh NagelPirates' Ryan Kreidler: Booted from 40-man roster
RotowireThePirates designatedKreidler for assignment Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

RotowireThePirates claimedRobertson off waivers from the White Sox on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Robertson went just 9-for-70 with a 2:27 BB:K over 75 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and White Sox in 2025 in his first action at the big-league level. However, the 27-year-old slashed .289/.387/.571 with 20 homers at the Triple-A level this season and can play all three outfield spots, so the Pirates will hope he can nail down a job as a reserve outfielder.

CBS Sports Max MeyerPirates' Thomas Harrington: Battles groin injury down stretch
RotowireHarrington missed the final few weeks of the season for Triple-A Indianapolis due to a right groin injury, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.
It's the same injury that caused Harrington to go on the 7-day injured list Aug. 10, as he threw one inning Aug. 28 and aggravated the injury and had to exit the start early before being shut down for the season. Harrington, who was in the mix for a rotation spot during spring training, had poor overall results in the majors (15 earned runs in 8.2 innings) and minors (5.34 ERA at Triple-A) while tallying 104.2 total frames across the two levels. He shouldn't have any restrictions in spring training but will face an uphill battle in camp to make the big-league roster.

CBS Sports Mike AxisaPirates' Johan Oviedo: Fine effort in loss
RotowireOviedo (2-1) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus Atlanta.
Oviedo gave up a two-run home run to Ronald Acuna in the first inning, and that was ultimately enough to prevent the right-hander from staying undefeated this season. He was rarely bad but also failed to stand out in his nine starts, walking exactly three batters on seven occasions while failing to complete six frames in any outing. Overall, he finished with a 3.57 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 42:23 K:BB over 40.1 innings, which is a fine performance after returning from a December 2023 Tommy John surgery.

CBS Sports Kate FeldmanPirates' Spencer Horwitz: On bench Sunday
RotowireHorwitz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Horwitz will take a seat for thePirates' season finale, giving way to Rafael Flores at first base. Assuming Horwitz doesn't enter off the bench, he'll end the campaign with a .273/.354/.435 slash line, 11 home runs, 51 RBI and 55 runs scored across 410 plate appearances.

RotowireReynolds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Reynolds is absent from the starting lineup for the regular-season finale, snapping a streak of eight consecutive starts. If he doesn't enter Sunday's contest off the bench, Reynolds will finish the campaign with a .244/.317/.399 slash line, 16 home runs and 67 runs scored -- all of which would be his worst since 2020.
