He started 30 games for the Pirates at shortstop, 18 at second base, 18 in right field and three at first base.
Randall, 24, was a seventh-round pick by Arizona in 2021 and went 6-7 with a 3.82 ERA in 21 starts last season at Class-A Hillsboro. He struck out 104 batters in 108 1/3 innings.
The Diamondbacks designated right-hander Taylor Widener for assignment in a corresponding transaction.
Widener, 28, was 0-1 with a 3.63 ERA in 14 relief appearances last season for Arizona.
