Pittsburgh Pirates Miguel Andujar dives to first base to avoid a pickoff in the seventh inning of a spring training baseball game against the Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers, Fla.

The Pittsburgh Pirates made two roster moves Sunday, reassigning outfielder Miguel Andujar and left-handed reliever Angel Perdomo to their minor-league camp.

Andujar signed a $1.525 million guaranteed contract last fall but likely will start the season with Triple-A Indianapolis. He was competing with Connor Joe and Canaan Smith-Njigba for the fourth outfielder spot with the Pirates.

Perdomo’s demotion leaves two left-handed relievers in big-league camp: Rule 5 pick Jose Hernandez and nonroster invitee Rob Zastryzny.
