The Pittsburgh Pirates have promoted infielders Dilson Herrera and Eric Wood to State College. Both players were playing in the Gulf Coast League, and both helped the GCL Pirates win the title yesterday. They will join the Spikes for the final week of the season.
To make room, the Spikes placed right-handed pitcher Lance Breedlove and outfielder Tyler Gaffney on the disabled list.
