The Pirates claimed right-handed pitcher Virgil Vasquez off waivers from the San Diego Padres and added him to the 40-man roster.
Vasquez, 26, spent all of last season with Toledo, Detroit's Class AAA affiliate. He went 12-12 with a 4.81 ERA and 115 strikeouts and 37 walks in 159 innings. He has a 54-48 career minor-league record with 610 strikeouts and 185 walks in 840 innings.
Vasquez's only major-league work came with the Tigers in 2007. He went 0-1 with an 8.64 ERA in five games, three of those starts.
Since the end of last season, Vasquez has been claimed off waivers by Boston (Oct. 28) and San Diego (Jan. 9) before being claimed by the Pirates.
