The Pirates announced Wednesday that they've designated outfielder Canaan Smith-Njigba for assignment. His spot on the 40-man roster will go to newly signed reliever Aroldis Chapman, whose previously reported one-year $10.5MM deal is now official.
Things have gone much better for the former fourth-round pick. Smith-Njigba has spent parts of three seasons at the minor leagues' top level, posting a combined .273/.366/.439 output there.
