The Pirates have designated Tanner Rainey for assignment and have claimed utilityman Ronny Simon off waivers, per source.
Simon has been optioned to Class AAA Indianapolis.
In 11 appearances for the Pirates, Rainey has produced a 10.57 ERA over 7 2/3 innings. He is coming off an outing in which he was tagged for four earned runs and walked three in the Pirates' 6-4 loss to the Padres yesterday at Petco Park.
Simon, 25, has played in 19 games this season for the Marlins and was designated for assignment on Friday, just three days after he committed three errors and was pulled in the fifth inning of a loss to the Padres. He was hitting .234/.327/.277 with a .604 OPS over 47 at-bats. He's played second base, shortstop and left field this season.
