JULY 1: Eveland has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis according to MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch (Twitter link).
JUNE 24: The Pirates designated Dana Eveland for assignment, according to the team. The club, which placed Zach Duke on the DL yesterday, will announce corresponding moves later today.
It's the third time Eveland has been designated for assignment this year. The A's designated him in February and dealt him to the Blue Jays, who designated him in May and dealt him to the Pirates. Back in March, the D'Backs reportedly had interest in the left-hander, but that was before Eveland posted a 6.79 ERA in 54.1 major league innings with more walks (5.3 BB/9) than strikeouts (4.0 K/9).
I think this guy have some potential. I hope it could work out between Eveland and the Pirates.

They would have been able to get this tub of lard off waivers from the Blue Jays without trading a ton 30 prospect for him. It was weird to trade for him, and even stranger to give him 3 appearances and cut him, but hopefully he can provide some sort of value but I wouldn’t hold my breath on it. He can’t strike out major league batters.
The Dbacks showed interest … and well they showed Hinch and Byrnes the door.
