Tyler Yates, who was recently re-signed by the Pirates, was arrested on December 30 in his native Hawaii on a family abuse charge, but police have dropped both of the charges against him.
The Pirates released a statement on Sunday night, which described the incident as "stemming from a disagreement between [Yates'] parents at his home in Hawaii." The statement continued: "We were made aware of the incident and assured by Tyler that the charges were not justified. As anticipated, all charges against Tyler have since been dropped. The manner in which our players represent the Pirates organization on and off the field is something we take very seriously. We are completely satisfied with Tyler in this matter and respect his family's privacy." Yates, 32, posted a 7.50 ERA in 15 appearances with the Pirates last season before undergoing Tommy John surgery in July. He isn't expected to return until late this season.

Pirates signed RHP Tyler Yates to a minor league contract.
He also received an invitation to spring training. Earlier this offseason, Yates opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis. He decided to return to the organization, a sage decision in that it should improve his odds of eventually returning to a big league roster. The 32-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in July, however, and probably won't be ready until late 2010. He has a 5.12 career ERA in 248 big league innings.

The Pirates are hoping to re-sign right-hander Tyler Yates this winter.
Yates opted for free agency just a few days ago in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis. But the Bucs still believe he's a capable reliever. "We are in dialogue with Tyler in an attempt to keep him with the Pirates," GM Neal Huntington said Tuesday. The 32-year-old Yates underwent Tommy John surgery in July, however, and probably won't be ready until late 2010. He has a 5.12 career ERA in 248 big league innings.

Pirates transferred RHP Tyler Yates from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
This procedural move doesn't affect Yates' outlook. The right-hander had Tommy John surgery last month and won't be ready to pitch in the majors until sometime in 2010.

Tyler Yates underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the season.
Yates won't resume throwing for five or six months, and it's possible that the right-hander won't be ready for the beginning of the 2010 campaign. He had a 7.50 ERA in 12 innings for the Pirates this season.
