The Pirates have made a flurry of transactions this week resulting in multiple changes to the Major League roster.
Catcher Tyler Heineman was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Andrew Knapp was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.
Heineman, 30, had four hits in 15 at-bats including one RBI with the Blue Jays this season. He has only played sparingly in 2022, combining for 12 games between the majors and Triple-A.
Knapp remained in a backup role following Roberto Perez’s injury and Michael Perez’s promotion to the big league club.
