The Pittsburgh Pirates tendered major-league contracts Friday to five of their arbitration eligible players: outfielder Oneil Cruz, catcher Joey Bart and pitchers Dennis Santana, Johan Oviedo and Justin Lawrence.

The other four players who were arbitration eligible — outfielders Alexander Canario and Ronny Simon and right-handed relievers Colin Holderman and Dauri Moreta — were nontendered and designated for assignment earlier in the week.

The Pirates also tendered contracts to all 31 of their non-arbitration eligible players. The list:

Braxton Ashcraft, Hunter Barco, Brandon Bidois, Mike Burrows, Bubba Chandler, Wilber Dotel, Ryan Harbin, Thomas Harrington, Jared Jones, Antwone Kelly, Isaac Mattson, Carmen Mlodzinski, Kyle Nicolas, Tyler Samaniego, Cam Sanders, Chase Shugart, Evan Sisk, Paul Skenes, Henry Davis, Rafael Flores, Jack Brannigan, Tsung-Che Cheng, Nick Gonzales, Spencer Horwtiz, Endy Rodriguez, Jared Triolo, Enmanuel Valdez, Nick Yorke, Billy Cook, Will Robertson, Esmerlyn Valdez
