According to Buster Olney, the Pittsburgh Pirates will recall Tyler Glasnow for a start this weekend, with no specific day announced (updated below). Glasnow was scheduled to start Thursday for Indianapolis, so he would be making his start on extra rest. It’s possible he will be going in place of Jon Niese, who was sent back to Pittsburgh yesterday to have his left knee examined.
In his last start on Saturday, Glasnow allowed two runs over six innings, with one walk and eight strikeouts. It was the first time since late April that he walked just one batter in a game. He is third in the International League with a 1.78 ERA and he leads the league with 113 strikeouts. We will post more information here if it becomes available.
