Pirates cut Ozuna after underwhelming one-year stint
The Pirates released Marcell Ozuna after a disappointing one-year, $12 million contract, as he slumped to a career-worst .203/.612 OPS and lost playing time; Pittsburgh promoted Ronny Simon from Triple-A to clear a roster spot, with Simon batting .330/.889 OPS at Indianapolis and offering left-handed hitting as the team hovers around .500.
