Pirates Make Two More Roster Cuts After Sunday’s Game

The Pittsburgh Pirates trimmed their Spring Training roster after Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, reassigning pitchers Chase De Jong and Eric Hanhold to minor league camp. The regular season begins on Thursday, so the final roster cuts will be coming up in the next few days, as they get down to a 28-man roster before Opening Day.

Hanhold appeared in just one game this spring, allowing a run on three hits and a walk in his only inning of work. The Pirates picked him up on waivers in November of 2021, but he was designated for assignment back on March 17th and sent outright to Indianapolis.
