Chase d’Arnaud has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis. The Pirates designated d’Arnaud for assignment last week after acquiring Brent Morel, and waived him almost immediately. Now that he has cleared waivers, he will remain in the organization and will probably serve as one of the top middle infield depth options out of Triple-A, sharing time with Robert Andino.
D’Arnaud was drafted in 2008, so he would be eligible for minor league free agency following the 2014 season, as long as he’s not on the 40-man roster by the end of the year.
