Former Red Sox reliever Craig Hansen, who was flipped to the Pirates in the three-team trade that sent Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers and brought Jason Bay to Boston, has been demoted to Triple-A by his new team.

On Tuesday, Hansen walked in the tying and go-ahead runs during the Cubs' seven-run, eighth-inning rally that helped Chicago emerge with a 14-9 triumph and sweep a three-game series.

Hansen was 0-2 with a 8.10 ERA in nine games with Pittsburgh. He was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
