Pirates' Manny Banuelos: Designated for assignment

Banuelos was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday.

Banuelos appeared in 35 games between the Yankees and Pirates last year and had a 4.39 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB across 41 innings. He was acquired by Pittsburgh in July but won't stick on the 40-man roster through the offseason.
