Overview

  • The claim was recorded on the MLB transactions log after Pittsburgh designated him for assignment.
  • Pittsburgh cleared 40-man space for recent waiver pickup Will Robertson from the White Sox.
  • Kreidler spent one week on the Pirates’ active roster, was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, and never appeared in a game for Pittsburgh.
  • He struggled at the plate for Detroit in 2025, batting .105 in 17 games, and owns a career .138 average with a .383 OPS over 211 plate appearances.
  • A 2019 fourth-round pick from UCLA who has appeared in parts of four MLB seasons, he projects as depth unless he secures a Twins roster spot this spring.
