The Pirates have traded infielder/outfielder Ildemaro Vargas to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team he made his Major League debut with.

The Bucs get cash considerations in return.


Vargas was claimed off waivers by the Pirates from the Chicago Cubs a little over two weeks ago.

He was designated for assignment on Sunday by the Bucs and called up Chase De Jong to take his roster spot.

In seven games with the Bucs, Vargas hit .077 in 13 at bats with one hit and one RBI.

The Pirates open up a four game series against the Miami Marlins on Thursday at PNC Park.
