Pirates' Jesus Liranzo: Heading to Pirates

Liranzo was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Thursday, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

The young right-hander was acquired by the Dodgers on Monday and designated for assignment just a day later. The Pirates decided to scoop him up off waivers and will send him to Double-A Altoona. Liranzo has 141 strikeouts over the past two seasons in the minors, but his control is a bit shaky.
