The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a move to adjust their roster as they pursue a playoff spot. Veteran designated hitter Marcell Ozuna was released by the team due to a prolonged slump. The Pirates had signed Ozuna to a one-year deal in February, hoping he would bring balance to their lineup.

However, he was unable to find his form and was subsequently let go. Further details about the Pirates' decision and their playoff chances are available from the source, including information about the player who will take Ozuna's place on the roster.
