Tyler Glasnow and Elias Diaz Recalled, A.J. Schugel Optioned to Indianapolis

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled Tyler Glasnow on Saturday afternoon and optioned reliever A.J. Schugel to Indianapolis to make room on the 25-man roster. Glasnow will make his second Major League start today against the Philadelphia Phillies and his first one in Pittsburgh.

Schugel has a 3.94 ERA in 48 innings over 33 appearances with the Pirates. He has 41 strikeouts and a 1.10 WHIP. He has hit a little rough patch recently, allowing runs in three of his last four appearances.

In other roster news, Eric Fryer has been placed on the paternity list today. He will be replaced on the roster this weekend by Elias Diaz. Fryer has up to three days leave on the paternity list, though the Pirates have off on Monday, so he will only miss two games.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
