Chase

d'Arnaud

The 32-year-old utilityman was batting just .164/.275/.316 with 54 strikeouts in 45 games this season at Triple-A Nashville. He may have to move to independent ball or somewhere overseas to continue his playing career.

D’Arnaud was shut down at the start of camp with an oblique issue, but he’s finally healed. The 32-year-old is hoping to compete for a utility infielder job this spring.

Not the most positive development as d’Arnaud attempts to win a roster spot this spring. The 32-year-old signed a minor league deal with the Rangers over the offseason after batting .215/.253/.366 in 93 at-bats for the Giants last season.

D’Arnaud, a veteran utilityman, hit .215/.253/.366 in 93 at-bats for the Giants last season. He could be the Rangers’ 25th man if things break right for him, but it’s more likely that he’ll open up back in Triple-A.

D’Arnaud was taken off the Giants’ 40-man roster and has decided to look for a job elsewhere rather than accept an outright assignment. The utility infielder will surely have to settle for a minor league contract.

Not a big surprise. While capable with the glove, Cedeno is batting just .257/.306/.351 with two homers, 31 RBI and a .657 OPS over 423 plate appearances this season. They could pay the $200,000 buyout and attempt to bring him back at a lesser salary or just go with either Brandon Wood or Chase d’Arnaud at shortstop.

The 25-year-old infielder had three hits in 10 at-bats this spring. He batted just .217/.242/.287 with six RBI, 12 stolen bases and a .528 OPS over 151 plate appearances at the big league level last season. He’d be an option if the Pirates suffer any injuries to their infield.

The 25-year-old infielder was sent down as the Pirates added right-hander Kyle McPherson and outfielder Alex Presley to the roster Friday. He didn’t appear in a game during his brief stint with the big club.

The 25-year-old infielder is filling the roster spot left vacant by Erik Bedard, who was released late Monday night. He is doubtful to carry any fantasy value.

The 25-year-old will provide infield depth for the Pirates down the stretch. He batted .252/.325/.383 with six homers and 38 RBI in 98 games this season at Triple-A.
