The Pirates designated Smith-Njigba for assignment Thursday.
Smith-Njigba was already set to begin the season at Triple-A Indianapolis, but he will now be without a spot on Pittsburgh's 40-man roster. The 24-year-old outfielder was DFA'd twice during the offseason -- once apiece by the Pirates and Mariners -- and he could once again be claimed off waivers after having a solid season at the Triple-A level in 2023.
