Pirates Place Isiah Kiner-Falefa On Outright Waivers

The Pirates have placed veteran infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa on outright waivers, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He'll be available to all 29 other clubs, with waiver priority determined based on the reverse order of the MLB-wide standings. Because he has not been designated for assignment, Kiner-Falefa can continue to play while on waivers. If another team claims him, which seems plausible, he'd be postseason-eligible because he'd join that club before Sept. 1. (Waivers are a 48-hour process.)
