Beede agreed to a contract with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan on Dec. 5, Hochi Sports reports.
It will be the first stint overseas for Beede, who has posted a 5.34 ERA over parts of four major league seasons. The former first-round pick will turn 30 in May.

Tyler Beede: Becomes free agent
Rotowire
Beede elected free agency Oct. 6.
Beede found little success at the big-league level in 2022 between stints with the Giants and Pirates, submitting a 5.14 ERA and 1.63 WHIP while striking out just 39 batters over 61.1 innings. Though Beede once had some pedigree as a prospect, he's set to turn 30 years old in May and doesn't have much of a track record at the big-league level to fall back on. With that in mind, Beede might have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency this winter.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Beede was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
After being designated for assignment by two different teams this season, Beede cleared waivers and is likely to end his season in Triple-A. Beede has covered 61.1 innings in 2022 with a 5.14 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. Once the minor league season wraps up, he will look to make another run at joining the big-league bullpen in 2023.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Beede was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Thursday.
Beede served exclusively as a reliever early in the season but drew five starts over the last several weeks. He wasn't particularly effective over the last month with a 7.78 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 19.2 innings over seven appearances (five starts) since Aug. 8. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster in a corresponding move for Eric Stout being recalled from Indianapolis.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Allows two runs
Rotowire
Beede (1-5) took the loss against Toronto on Friday's, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out one and walking one over three innings.
Beede entered the contest in the fourth inning after opener Johan Oviedo left the game tied 0-0. Beede ended up tossing 26 of 47 pitches for strikes across three frames, but allowed two runs to score on a Santiago Espinal double. This was Beede's fourth straight loss. During that span, his ERA has gradually increased from 3.72 to where it now sits at 4.94.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Hit hard in Philadelphia
Rotowire
Beede (1-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over three innings in a 6-0 loss against the Phillies. He struck out five.
Beede surrendered a three-run double to catcher J.T. Realmuto in the first and later allowed a solo homer from outfielder Nick Castellanos. This marks the fifth start of 2022 for the righty, and he has yet to pitch more than four innings. The 29-year-old has allowed 12 runs over 10 innings during his current three-game losing streak.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Struggles in fourth start
Rotowire
Beede (1-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over four innings in a 10-1 loss to the Reds. He struck out two.
Beede allowed a two-run double from Austin Romine in the fourth followed by a two-run homer from outfielder Jake Fraley later that inning. The righty spent most of the season as a reliever before being given a chance as a starter Aug. 3. The 29-year-old has now made four straight starts and recorded a shaky 7.50 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 12 innings during that span.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Another start coming Saturday
Rotowire
Beede is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Reds at PNC Park, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Beede appeared on track to lose his spot in the rotation when Roansy Contreras was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to start Wednesday against the Red Sox, but the Pirates will at least temporarily keep a six-man rotation in place. Keeping Beede on hand as a sixth starter will allow the Pirates to build in more rest between starts for Contreras, and at least in the short term, it allows Mitch Keller to get more recovery time after he exited his previous start Tuesday with right shoulder fatigue. Since he had been pitching out of the bullpen before entering the rotation Aug. 8, Beede isn't yet built up to a traditional starter's workload and didn't reach the fifth inning in either of his prior two turns through the rotation.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Loses to former team
Rotowire
Beede (1-2) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three in three innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Giants.
Beede worked up to 74 pitches, but he threw only 39 of them for strikes against his former team. A Joc Pederson RBI double in the first inning and LaMonte Wade's solo home run in the third accounted for the only runs in the game. Beede has given up six runs through eight innings across three starts in August. He owns a 3.72 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 30:23 K:BB in 48.1 innings between the Pirates and Giants this year. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a decent home start versus the Reds in his next outing, though he's unlikely to contend for wins until he can consistently complete five frames since he's not being used behind an opener.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Turns in scoreless outing
Rotowire
Beede allowed two hits and a walk over 3.2 shutout innings in Monday's loss to Arizona. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.
It was a solid bounce back for Beede after he gave up four runs and was chased in the second inning in his last start against Milwaukee. The only extra-base hit he allowed was a two-out double by Christian Walker in the fourth inning. The 29-year-old lowered his season ERA to 3.57 with a 27:20 K:BB through 45.1 frames. As of now, Beede is projected to start in San Francisco this weekend.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Starting again Monday
Rotowire
Beede is listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for Monday's game in Arizona.
Though Beede will be making his second straight turn through the rotation, the Pirates may be treating his start as another glorified bullpen day. The Pirates will likely allow Beede to progressively stretch out over his subsequent starts, but he probably can't be counted on to cover much more than three frames Monday after he threw 42 pitches and lasted just 1.1 innings (while giving up four earned runs) in his first start of the season last week versus the Brewers.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Struggles in first start
Rotowire
Beede gave up four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings in an 8-7 win over the Brewers on Wednesday. He did not factor into the decision.
Beede made his first start of the season after pitching well in a middle-relief role throughout the year. However, the experiment did not go as planned for the Pirates, and Beede was chased in the second inning after 42 pitches. It is unclear as to whether Beede will be given another opportunity to start or if manager Derek Shelton will hand the ball to someone else to replace the hole in the rotation left by Jose Quintana being shipped out at the trade deadline.
Beede will start Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The right-hander has worked exclusively out of the bullpen for the Giants and Pirates this year, but he'll step into the rotation Wednesday after Pittsburgh traded away Jose Quintana. Beede covered three innings during his last appearance Sunday, so he shouldn't be expected to have a full starting workload. It's unclear if Pittsburgh plans to keep him in the rotation or if he'll shift back to the bullpen after Wednesday's outing.

Pirates' Tyler Beede: Claimed by Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Beede was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Giants' Tyler Beede: Designated for assignment

Beede was designated for assignment by the Giants on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beede made six relief appearances for the Giants over the first month of the season, and he posted a 4.66 ERA and 2.07 WHIP in 9.2 innings. The 28-year-old will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster after giving up two runs in 1.1 innings during Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.

Giants' Tyler Beede: Allows two runs Wednesday
Rotowire
Beede surrendered two runs on three hits and a walk with one strikeout over 1.1 innings in Wednesday's 9-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Beede has allowed runs in four of his six outings this season, and he's given up multiple hits in each of his last five appearances. The right-hander now has a 4.66 ERA, 2.07 WHIP and 4:6 K:BB through 9.2 innings. He should continue to see only low-leverage work as he attempts to cut down on the number of baserunners he allows.

Giants' Tyler Beede: Throws two scoreless innings
Rotowire
Beede walked three and struck out two over two scoreless innings in Tuesday's 13-2 win over the Padres.
Beede didn't have to be sharp with the Giants carrying a big lead. He threw just 15 of his 35 pitches for strikes in his season debut. The right-hander is with the Giants to begin the season as a multi-inning reliever, though he's viewed as a potential starter should an opening in the rotation surface. Beede didn't pitch in the majors last year after he recovered from Tommy John surgery. He posted a 6.66 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 50:45 K:BB in 48.2 innings with Triple-A Sacramento. Given that high walk rate, it'll be important to keep an eye on his control as he progresses through the season.

Giants' Tyler Beede: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Beede was informed by the Giants on Wednesday he's made the Opening Day roster, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Beede had a 5.08 ERA over 117 innings for the Giants in 2019 but missed the following campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and he returned to the mound with Triple-A Sacramento last year. The 28-year-old was reportedly throwing up to 98 mph during spring training, though he still surrendered six earned runs across 4.2 frames. San Francisco has five solidified starters in its rotation, but Beede could work as the sixth man of the group if the Giants elect to go that route.

Giants' Tyler Beede: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Beede will start Saturday's Cactus League game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Beede finished the 2021 campaign on the 60-day injured list, but he'll make a start for the Giants early in spring training. The right-hander should be healthy for camp as he competes for a major-league roster spot ahead of the regular season.
