Pirates Re-sign Kyler Fedko to Two-Year Minor League Deal
The Pittsburgh Pirates have re-signed outfielder Kyler Fedko to a two-year minor league deal.
Fedko, 27, made his major league debut with the Minnesota Twins this year after six seasons in the minors.
He played 14 games for Minnesota before being sent to Triple-A, where he hit .274 and had 17 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 75 games.
A torn ACL, MCL and LCL ended his season in early August, and he had surgery that month.
The deal gives him a place to continue rehabbing, while the Pirates add an outfielder to their minor league depth.
He is expected to spend much of 2027 recovering, with a possible return to the majors in 2028 if his progress allows.
