Delay and the Red Sox agreed on a minor-league contract Sunday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Delay with join the Red Sox organization after spending the majority of the 2025 season with Triple-A Gwinnett, batting .219 with eight doubles, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over 192 at-bats in 59 games. The catcher last appeared in the big leagues in 2024 while with the Pirates, and he'll look to impress with Boston in an attempt to get another crack at the major-league level in 2026.

Atlanta sent Delay outright to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old backstop has been in Triple-A all season, slashing .230/.288/.267 through 146 plate appearances. He'll now lose his spot on the 40-man roster but stick in the organization as additional catcher depth for the Stripers.

Atlanta acquired Delay from the Pirates on Thursday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Double-A Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Delay was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday, but a move to Atlanta will allow him to reclaim a spot on a 40-man roster. However, he'll be demoted to Double-A upon joining his new organization and doesn't figure to serve as anything more than minor-league depth for the duration of the season. Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Pirates designated Delay for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Thomas Harrington, who is up to start Tuesday's game against the Rays. Delay is just a career .231/.295/.315 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons but could draw interest via waivers from a club in need of catching depth.

The Pirates optioned Delay to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Delay was unable to win a place on the Opening Day roster after going 2-for-17 with eight strikeouts in 12 spring games. Joey Bart is poised to begin the season as Pittsburgh's No. 1 backstop, with Henry Davis and Endy Rodriguez competing for the backup job.

The Pirates optioned Delay to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Delay will head back to the minors as the Pirates clear room on the 26-man active roster for fellow catcher Joey Bart (thumb), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. During his two-week stay with the Pirates, Delay went 3-for-12 with three doubles, two walks, five RBI and one run.

Delay went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Delay drew his first start since being recalled Saturday and delivered a key three-RBI double in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 6-0. He's likely to remain the backup catcher behind Yasmani Grandal while Henry Davis (concussion) is sidelined, but Delay could push for more regular at-bats with Grandal performing poorly.

The Pirates recalled Delay from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Delay joined the Pirates in Colorado ahead of Saturday's game and should split catching duties with Yasmani Grandal while Henry Davis (concussion) is sidelined. Delay has posted a .523 OPS over 34 plate appearances at Triple-A this season.

Delay is headed to Colorado to join the Pirates, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Henry Davis had to exit Friday's game with concussion-like symptoms, and while nothing has been determined yet regarding his roster status, Delay will be around in case he's needed. Delay was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis earlier this month after completing a rehab assignment following knee surgery.

Delay (knee) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, per MLB's transaction log.
