Pirates selected the contract of RHP Noah Murdock from Triple-A Indianapolis; optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Murdock had an upward mobility clause in his minor league deal with the Pirates, so they opted to put him on their 40-man roster to keep him within the organization. The 27-year-old hurler has posted a 4.11 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 39/9 K/BB ratio over 30 2/3 innings in 24 appearances across three minor league levels this season.

Pirates signed RHP Noah Murdock to a minor league contract.

Murdock represents an interesting gamble for the Pirates since he was a Rule 5 pick by the Athletics last offseason and made 14 underwhelming relief appearances, registering an astronomical 13.24 ERA during that span, before being returned to the Royals by mid-May. The 27-year-old hurler produced a solid 3.16 ERA and 72/41 K/BB ratio over 62 2/3 innings during 46 relief outings in the upper minors after returning to Kansas City.

Athletics designated RHP Noah Murdock for assignment.

If the Rule 5 selection passes through waivers unclaimed, he would be returned to the Royals. If another team claims him, then the same rules apply, and he needs to remain on the big league roster for the duration of the season or be returned to the Royals. Murdock posted a 13.24 ERA, 2.71 WHIP and a 21/20 K/BB ratio over 17 innings in 14 appearances with the A’s.

Noah Murdock was informed he’s made the Opening Day roster for the Athletics.

Murdock was a Rule 5 draft pick by the A’s in December from the Royals, so the Athletics have to keep the 26-year-old on the roster for the entire season. He’ll likely be a low-leverage reliever to begin the season, but could work into a more relevant role by the end of the campaign.
