Pirates claim RHP Virgil Vasquez off waivers
PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed right-hander Virgil Vasquez off waivers from the San Diego Padres on Monday.

The move fills the Pirates' 40-man roster and boosts the number of players they have invited to spring training to 57.

The 26-year-old Vasquez was 12-12 with a 4.81 ERA for Detroit's Triple-A Toledo farm club last season, with 115 strikeouts and 37 walks. He was waived after the season.

The Pirates are Vasquez's third club since the season ended, following the Padres and Red Sox.

In 16 2-3 innings with Detroit in 2007, Vasquez gave up 16 earned runs and seven homers.
