Out of postseason contention, the Pittsburgh Pirates designated outfielder Michael A. Taylor and first baseman Rowdy Tellez and recalled outfielder Joshua Palacios and infielder Liover Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Taylor, 33, signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh in the offseason and hit .193 with five home runs, 12 stolen bases and 21 RBIs in 113 games.

In 11 seasons with the Washington Nationals (2014-20), Kansas City Royals (2021-22), Minnesota Twins (2023) and Pirates, the Nats’ 2009 sixth-round pick has hit .235 with 100 home runs, 120 stolen bases and 353 RBIs in 1,082 games.

In 131 games with the Pirates after signing a one-year contract in the offseason, the 29-year-old Tellez hit 13 home runs and drove in 56 runs while hitting .243.

Tellez has hit .234 with 105 home runs and 319 RBIs over seven seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays (2018-21), Milwaukee Brewers (2021-23) and Pirates, spanning 664 games. Toronto selected him in the 30th round of the 2013 draft.

Palacios, 29, has hit .230 with two homers and seven RBIs in 20 games with Pittsburgh this season.

A fourth-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in 2016, Palacios has spent parts of four seasons in the majors with the Blue Jays (2021), Nationals (2022) and Pirates (2023-present) and has hit .231 with 12 home runs and 53 RBIs in 153 games.

Peguero, 23, has played in 60 games with the Pirates since 2022, hitting .239 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs.

He hit .257 with 13 home runs and 79 RBIs in 128 games at Indianapolis this season. He led all Pittsburgh minor leaguers in RBIs, doubles (29) and hits (127) and tied for second with 46 extra-base hits. In six seasons in the minors, Peguero has hit .268 with 56 home runs and 280 RBIs in 516 games.
