Phillies claimed LHP Tim Mayza off waivers from the Pirates.

Mayza has been scooped up off release waivers after being jettisoned earlier this weekend by the Pirates. The 33-year-old southpaw will be eligible for the postseason with his new club. The 33-year-old lefty made seven appearances for Pittsburgh before hitting the injured list back in mid-April with a left lat strain that has kept him sidelined ever since.

Pirates transferred LHP Tim Mayza to the 60-day injured list.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 33-year-old southpaw — who will be shut down from throwing for at least the next six weeks — this was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for Matt Gorski who was promoted from Triple-A on Thursday.

Tim Mayza (lat) will be shut down from throwing for six weeks.

Mayza hit the injured list over the weekend with a left lat strain and won’t resume throwing until the end of May. He’s likely out until the early portion of the second half.

Pirates optioned LHP Tim Mayza to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Pirates placed LHP Tim Mayza on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain.

Mayza heads to the injured list with former closer David Bednar to return to the big leagues. He’s posted a solid 2.89 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 8/1 K/BB ratio across 9 1/3 innings (seven appearances). He should be back in a couple weeks.
