The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated right-hander Elvis Alvarado for assignment, creating space for Adam Frazier on their 40-man roster after he signed a one-year deal with the team. Alvarado, who is set to turn 26 soon, has not yet debuted in Major League Baseball despite signing with the Pirates six weeks ago. He has shown potential, with a strong fastball and impressive strikeout rates in the minors, but struggled with command issues. He now faces the challenge of clearing waivers and proving himself to earn a spot on the MLB roster.
