The Pirates designated Williams for assignment Monday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Tim Mayza, whose signing was officially announced Monday. Williams, who turns 26 in March, has managed just a .202/.257/.271 batting line with zero home runs over 208 plate appearances at the major-league level.
