Pirates Reassign Angel Perdomo and Miguel Andujar to Minor League Camp

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced after Sunday’s game that they have reassigned pitcher Angel Perdomo and IF/OF Miguel Andujar to minor league camp. That trims their roster to 36 players, though that number includes Chris Owings, who had an opt out yesterday, but decided to accept an assignment to Indianapolis instead after being told he won’t make the Opening Day roster.

Andujar was designated for assignment over the winter, but he cleared waivers and accepted his assignment to Indianapolis. The Pirates agreed to a $1.525M contract with him for 2023, which likely helped him clear waivers, and in turn they were able to keep him in the system. He hit .195/.244/.366 in 45 plate appearances this spring, which is the sixth highest total of PA’s for the Pirates.

Perdomo was vying for a lefty spot in the bullpen, but he allowed eight runs over 9.2 innings this spring. He made ten appearances, finishing with nine hits, five walks and 13 strikeouts. He was limited to just 34 minor league innings last year, though they came with a 1.85 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP and 56 strikeouts. He had brief big league time with the 2020-21 Milwaukee Brewers.

Opening Day is just four days away, so expect more cuts soon.

When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects.
