Tyler Bashlor has cleared waivers and been sent outright to the alternate training site.
Some notes
Cody Ponce will throw a three-inning sim game. Pirates want to stretch him out as a starter.

No firm timeline for Hayes' return. Pirates won't rush it. Does not sound like Hayes has swung a bat yet. Has taken ground balls.
