Stoffel (shoulder) was reassigned to minor league camp Thursday.
The 28-year-old has never reached the majors and, with this transaction, Stoffel will have to wait longer to do so as an organizational depth reliever.

Pirates' Jason Stoffel: Begins throwing again
Rotowire
Stoffel (shoulder) started playing catch earlier in March, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The non-roster invitee was experiencing some shoulder discomfort toward the end of February, but it seems like the pain is beginning to subside. However, the Pirates may opt to take things slowly in his recovery process given the extended length of spring training, so don't be surprised if Stoffel doesn't find his way into spring games for a while longer.

Pirates' Jason Stoffel: Signs minor league deal with Pirates
Rotowire
Stoffel signed a minor league contract with the Pirates on Wednesday that includes an invite to spring training, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Stephen Nesbitt reports.
Stoffel has never pitched in the majors, despite being 28 years old. His strikeout rate has ticked up in recent seasons, however, so he could have a chance of making the Pirates' bullpen and serving as a low-leverage reliever out of spring training.
