The Pirates have designated right-hander Jake Woodford for assignment, per Robert Murray of FanSided.

The Pirates are scouring the trade market for ways to improve their lineup and given the lack of pure sellers with impact bats, they are more likely to be buyers than sellers.

The Pirates began a highly anticipated MLB trade deadline with a trade sending Gilberto Celestino to the Texas Rangers for reliever Kolby Allard.

The Pirates have only made one trade so far, dealing veteran first baseman Carlos Santana to the division-rival Chicago Cubs for minor league infielder Andy Weber.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates had to settle for two out of three in their opening series out of the All-Star break after a 6-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.
