Scahill was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Bill Brink reports.

EDGE Analysis

He wasn't offering much value for the Pirates, notching a 4.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP so far this season. Additionally, he has logged three innings of relief over the past three days, and would have been unavailable for at least a day or two. He'll offer organizational bullpen depth going forward.
