Overview
- The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated right-hander Kirby Yates from the 15-day injured list and removed right-hander Camilo Doval from the 40-man roster as the corresponding move.
- Designation for assignment means Doval is no longer on the Pirates’ 40-man roster and the club has a short period to trade him, place him on waivers, release him, or outright him to the minors if he clears waivers.
- Doval is a veteran reliever and former All-Star who previously pitched for the New York Yankees, which could draw interest from other teams during the DFA process.
- The Pirates posted the roster change on their official X account ahead of the team’s upcoming three-game series at PNC Park against the St. Louis Cardinals.
- The transaction reflects routine late-season roster management that makes an injured-list return immediately usable and creates immediate uncertainty about a veteran reliever’s major-league status.
