Mazzaro signed a minor league deal with the Braves and was assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett, MLB.com's Kevin McAlpin reports. |

Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the Pirates are willing to listen to offers for reliever Vin Mazzaro. |
Mazzaro is out of options this spring and is coming off a 2.81 ERA over 57 appearances last season, but he appears to be the odd man out in Pittsburgh's bullpen at the moment. The Pirates might be able to find a taker. |

Sat Jun 16 2012 | 00:36 | Mazzaro stellar in victory over Cardinals |
Vin Mazzaro was stellar in Friday's victory over the Cardinals, scattering five hits and a walk over six scoreless innings while striking out four. |
He's actually pitched fairly well since joining the Royals rotation, as he now sits at 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA on the season. He doesn't generate any strikeouts and pitches for a poor team, but he may be worth a look in deeper mixed leagues as a matchup play. Such an opportunity may arise this week as he takes on the Astros in Houston on Wednesday. |

Seven of the first eight hitters reached in the inning, leading to the Pirates scoring all five of their runs. While Mazzaro wasn't at his best in this outing, he has actually pitched fairly well for the Royals thus far. He'll look to bounce back against the Cardinals in St. Louis on Friday. |
