Phillies' Liover Peguero: Inks minors deal with Phillies
Rotowire
The Phillies signed Peguero to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.
Peguero never got settled in during his four seasons with the Pirates, slashing just .227/.278/.368 over 315 plate appearances. He'll turn just 25 next month and can play all over the infield, so Peguero could be useful organizational depth for Philadelphia.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Smacks three homers in loss
Rotowire
Peguero went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI during Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rockies.
Peguero supplied all of the runs for the Pirates on Saturday, and he did so in a big way. He followed up a leadoff homer with a a three-run blast to left field in the fifth to give Pittsburgh a 4-0 lead, and he capped off his big night with a solo shot with two outs in the ninth. Peguero extended his hitting streak to five games, during which he's gone 7-for-19 (.368) with one steal, four long balls and seven RBI. Though he lacks a direct path to an everyday role at the moment, Peguero is capable of playing all over the infield and could earn steadier at-bats as a result of Saturday's breakout performance.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Clubs homer
Rotowire
Peguero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants.
Peguero tied the game at 1-1 in the fifth inning and added another RBI with a groundout in the eighth. The long ball was his first in the majors since the 2023 campaign, though he's hit a combined 18 homers over 200 games with Triple-A Indianapolis in 2024 and 2025. In the majors this year, he is batting .263 with a 1:5 BB:K across 21 plate appearances. He's made starts at first base, second base and shortstop over the last four games and appears to be a reserve utility infielder at this time.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Call-up expected
Rotowire
Peguero has a spot in the Pirates' locker room and is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
The Pirates traded Adam Frazier to Kansas City for Cam Devanney, who was immediately optioned to Triple-A, leaving an open spot on the 26-man roster. Peguero has played all four infield positions plus center field at Triple-A this season. However, he played only second base and shortstop in a brief stint with Pittsburgh earlier this year. With Frazier out of the picture, Peguero's easiest path to playing time will come in the middle infield.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Among six optioned Tuesday
Rotowire
The Pirates optioned Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Peguero had been among the field battling for a spot on the Pirates' bench to begin the regular season, but going 2-for-15 with a home run in 10 games won't be enough to crack the Opening Day roster. Until the 24-year-old's bat improves, he's likely destined to spend most of his time in Triple-A, though he may be promoted throughout the season to provide Pittsburgh with some fresh legs off the bench.
