BRADENTON, Fla. — The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed right-hander Justin Lawrence off waivers from the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Lawrence, 30, had been 12-12 with a 5.43 ERA in 182 appearances with the Rockies since 2021, including career highs of 11 saves, 69 games and 75 innings to go with a 4-7 record and 3.72 ERA in 2023.
Pittsburgh placed righty Johan Oviedo on the 60-day injured list to make room for Lawrence on the 40-man roster. Oviedo is recovering from a right elbow injury and right lat strain.
