Cruz has been very good for the Pirates this season, posting a 2.78 ERA in 35 2/3 innings. He signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal with Pittsburgh last off-season.
Analysis: I'd be very surprised if Cruz clears waivers. He has been very effective for the Pirates this season and Pittsburgh is only designating him for assignment because their bullpen is an asset. They can afford to get rid of Cruz because they have so many good relief pitchers.
