Washington Nationals starting pitcher Wily Peralta throws during the second inning of a spring training baseball game against the New York Mets, Thursday, March 16, 2023, in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Veteran righty Wily Peralta will join the Pittsburgh Pirates for spring training as a non-roster invitee, the club announced Monday.

Peralta, 34, has a record of 56-61 with a 4.29 ERA and 16 saves over 258 games in his major league career, spanning stints with the Brewers, Royals and Tigers from 2012-22.

He spent last season with the Nationals’ Triple-A affiliate, Rochester, where he was 3-8 with a 6.31 ERA in 24 starts.

In addition to making 139 starts, Peralta has made 119 relief appearances in his major league career.

Peralta was among three non-roster invitees the Pirates announced Monday. The team opens spring training workouts Wednesday in Bradenton, Fla.

Fellow right-handed pitchers Connor Sadzeck and Brent Honeywell also will head to Pirate City.

Sadzeck is 0-1 with one save and a 2.75 ERA in 25 major league appearances with the Rangers, Mariners and Brewers. He was drafted by the Pirates in the 45th round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft but did not sign with the club.

Honeywell was 2-4 with a 4.82 ERA in 40 appearances last season between the Padres and White Sox.

His father, Brent Honeywell Sr., pitched in the Pirates’ minor-league system from 1988-90.
