Leyba signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday, John Dreker of Pirates Prospects reports. The 27-year-old utility infielder is already in Pirates camp. Leyba has some major-league experience but split 2022 between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso in the Padres organization, sporting a .755 OPS with 11 homers and 12 steals over 108 games. He'll likely begin 2023 at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Leyba was reassigned to minor-league spring training Thursday. Leyba served as a non-roster invitee this spring and went 4-for-14 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts across 10 Cactus League appearances. However, he'll report to Triple-A El Paso to begin the regular season.

Leyba signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Dec. 14. Leyba spent time with the Diamondbacks, Orioles and Rangers last year but played at the Triple-A level for most of the season. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 26-year-old serve as a non-roster invitee this spring, but he'll likely serve as organizational depth for most of the 2022 campaign.

Leyba signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday. The 25-year-old was assigned to Triple-A Round Rock. Leyba has appeared in 34 major-league games this season while slashing .115/.191/.161 but has fared much better in the minors.

Leyba was released by the Orioles on Thursday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Leyba was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk in early August, and he went 2-for-8 with a walk and a strikeout in three minor-league games since he rejoined the Tides. The 25-year-old will be free to seek out other opportunities following his release.
