  • Pirates' Hunter Owen: Moves to minor-league camp

    Rotowire

    The Pirates reassigned Owen to minor-league camp Tuesday.

    Owen is expected to open the season at Triple-A Indianapolis, where he should play on a near-everyday basis. The 28-year-old made his big-league debut in 2021, going hitless across five plate appearances with Pittsburgh before he was outrighted off the 40-man roster last May.

  • Pirates' Hunter Owen: Clears waivers

    Rotowire

    Owen cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

    Owen passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment Tuesday, which is hardly a surprise given that he's a 27-year-old with just five MLB plate appearances under his belt. He'll remain as organizational depth for the Pirates for now.
