US EditionPirates Designate Andrew Heaney for Assignment and Activate Oneil Cruz From Injured List
Oneil Cruz returns from concussion after rehab games, while Andrew Heaney is designated for assignment following a 5-10 record and 5.39 ERA this season, the Pirates announced.
- On Tuesday, August 26, 2025, the Pittsburgh Pirates removed left-handed pitcher Andrew Heaney from their roster and reinstated center fielder Oneil Cruz following his recovery from a concussion-related injury.
- The roster adjustments were made after Cruz returned following a concussion sustained during a collision while diving for a ball against Jack Suwinski on August 13, and in response to Heaney's recent difficulties pitching.
- Heaney, a 34-year-old left-hander signed to a one-year $5.25 million deal in the offseason, had a 5-10 record with a 5.39 ERA and lost his starting rotation spot after poor performances.
- Cruz, who played 108 games this season with a.207 batting average, 17 doubles, 18 home runs, 51 RBIs, and a league-leading 34 stolen bases, ended his rehab stint and was activated to join the active roster.
- These moves freed roster space by optioning outfielder Ronny Simon to Triple-A Indianapolis and recalling right-hander Dauri Moreta from Triple-A following his recovery from Tommy John surgery.
