Yesterday, the Pirates placed Isaiah Kiner-Falefa on outright waivers.
The shortstop/third baseman is now available to be claimed in time for him to be eligible for the playoffs should someone take him. Kiner-Falefa, 30, has batted .258 on the year with 30 doubles, four triples, two home runs and 45 RBIs in 167 games with the Pirates.
Whomever claims him will pay the remainder of his $7.5 million salary for the season. If he goes unclaimed, he can remain on the Pirates’ roster.
