De Jong elected to become a free agent Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
De Jong appeared in six games for the Pirates in 2023, giving up 17 runs over 11.1 frames. Fortunately, he found more success in the minors with a 3.73 ERA and 1.70 WHIP, but he's unlikely to get more than a minor-league deal elsewhere given his rough MLB stats.

The Pirates designated De Jong for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Less than a week after selecting De Jong's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis, the Pirates will once again place the 29-year-old reliever on waivers. De Jong yielded six runs on five hits and a walk over two innings during his last appearance June 6. He will be replaced on the MLB roster by Canaan Smith-Njigba, who was recalled from Indianapolis on Friday.

The Pirates selected De Jong's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
De Jong was added back to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster following a two-week stint at Indianapolis after he was outrighted to the minors in May. Over his last five outings prior to his call-up, De Jong pitched to a 2.84 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 7:5 K:BB in 6.1 innings for Indianapolis. He'll likely see most of his usage in lower-leverage spots while he's up with Pittsburgh.
