Pirates' Ildemaro Vargas: DFA'd by Pittsburgh

Vargas was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Saturday.

The 29-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Pirates nearly two weeks ago and went 1-for-13 in seven appearances. Vargas began the season with the Cubs and went 3-for-21 before being DFA'd. He could remain in the Pirates organization should he go unclaimed on waivers.
