The Pittsburgh Pirates are designating outfielder Marco Luciano and infielder Tsung-Che Cheng for assignment to create space on their 40-man roster following a three-team trade that brought in Brandon Lowe, Mason Montgomery, and Jake Mangum. Luciano, a former top prospect, struggled in the majors and Triple-A, hitting .217 with high strikeout rates. Cheng, who had some prospect attention, made a brief MLB appearance but underperformed, batting .207 in Triple-A. The Pirates have five days to trade or waive both players.
