Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was quiet Tuesday about how he will use outfielder Xavier Paul, who was claimed off waivers from the Dodgers. "We'll let you know when he gets here," Hurdle said. To make room on the roster, left-hander Scott Olsen was transferred from the 15- to the 60-day disabled list.

The Pirates have claimed infielder Brandon Wood off waivers from the Angels. Los Angeles had designated the infielder for assignment earlier in the week. Wood reportedly drew interest from multiple teams, but the Pirates, by virtue of having the worst record in 2010, had first dibs on the waiver-wire claim.
