The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed pitcher Tyler Beede off of waivers yesterday from the San Francisco Giants. To make room on the 26-man roster, lefty pitcher Cam Alldred has been optioned to Indianapolis.
Beede, who turns 29 years old on May 23rd, has pitched six times in relief this season, posting a 4.66 ERA, 5.50 FIP and a 2.07 WHIP in 9.2 innings.
Alldred debuted in the majors last night against the Reds and tossed a scoreless inning.
