The Pirates placed infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa on outright waivers on Friday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
The 30-year-old veteran is batting .268 with 20 doubles, 35 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 117 games this season. He has started 93 games at shortstop and 22 at third base.
Kiner-Falefa is a career .263 hitter with 35 homers, 281 RBIs and 100 steals in 897 games with the Texas Rangers (2018-21), New York Yankees (2022-23), Toronto Blue Jays (2024) and Pirates (2024-25).
Kiner-Falefa is in the second year of a two-year, $15 million deal he signed with Toronto before the 2024 season. The Blue Jays traded him to Pittsburgh in July 2024 for infield prospect Charles McAdoo.
Teams heading to the playoffs can put in a claim for Kiner-Falefa this weekend if they want to add him to the postseason roster.
