PITTSBURGH — The Cleveland Guardians have traded infielder Yu Chang to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash.

Chang had been designated for assignment last week.

Once a promising prospect for Cleveland, the 26-year-old Chang played in just four games for the Guardians this season and struck out seven times in 10 at-bats.

He also missed time after being placed on the COVID-19 list.

Chang batted .228 with nine homers and 39 RBIs in 89 games for Cleveland in 2021.

His strong finish in the final three months put him in position to win a utility job this season.
