The Pittsburgh Pirates have parted ways with Barajas.

Barajas, who signed with the Pirates as a free agent last winter, struggled at the plate and on defense. The 37-year-old hit just .206 with 11 homers and 31 RBI and threw out only six of 99 base stealers.

Barajas homered and doubled in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Mets.

Barajas is 10 for 31 in his last nine road games.

Barajas hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth and the Pirates rallied past Houston 4-3 on Saturday night, sending the Astros to their club-record 12th straight loss.

Barajas stopped an 0-for-18 slide with his key single off Fernando Rodriguez that scored Andrew McCutchen. The hit also ended an 0-for-17 streak with runners in scoring position for the Pirates.

Barajas left Monday's 8-3 loss in Philly with a bone bruise in his left knee

Barajas will be re-evaluated Tuesday.

Barajas had a team-high two hits in Friday's 1-0 loss to Houston.

The veteran backstop is not a quality fantasy option.
