Pirates Cut Nine Players From MLB Camp, Including Diaz, Moroff, Wood, and Santana

BRADENTON, Fla. - The Pittsburgh Pirates have made nine more cuts today from MLB camp. Elias Diaz and Max Moroff have been optioned to Indianapolis. Eric Wood, Eury Perez, Brandon Cumpton, Dan Runzler, Jason Stoffel, Edgar Santana, and Joey Terdoslavich have been reassigned to minor league camp. Here is a quick rundown of each player. Alan Saunders will have an update later this morning from Neal Huntington.

Elias Diaz - The Pirates will have Francisco Cervelli and Chris Stewart as their catchers in Pittsburgh. Both of those guys have a history of injuries, which means it's very likely we could see Diaz in Pittsburgh at some point this year.
