The Pirates have claimed right-handed pitcher Chaz Roe off waivers from the New York Yankees. Roe had been designated for assignment by the Yankees on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Roe began the season with the Marlins before being acquired by the Yankees on August 31. He made three appearances with New York this season, and also posted 14 saves in 47 games (64.0ip) at Triple-A New Orleans (3.66 ERA / 1.156 WHIP).
The Steubenville, OH, native made 21 appearances with Arizona in 2013.
Roe will take the roster spot of right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton, who was placed on the 60-day D.L. with right hip inflammation ending his season.
