Pirates' Josh VanMeter: Outrighted to Triple-A

VanMeter cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

The Pirates removed VanMeter from the 40-man roster earlier this week, and none of MLB's other 29 teams put in a waiver claim. With that, VanMeter will remain in the organization and attempt to claw his way back to the highest level eventually. The 27-year-old is a .206/.293/.347 career hitter in the majors.
