Jhan Marinez Added to Active Roster; Josh Lindblom to Disabled List

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates have added right-handed pitcher Jhan Marinez to the 25-man roster and placed right-handed pitcher Josh Lindblom on the 10-day disabled list with left side discomfort. Marinez was picked up off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers last night, after they designated him for assignment on Monday.

Marinez last pitched six days ago, when he allowed one run on six hits over 2.2 innings. He faced the Pirates back on May 5th and retired the side in order in his only inning of work. On the season, the 28-year-old has a 5.40 ERA in 16.2 innings over 15 appearances, allowing 23 hits, 11 walks and he has 14 strikeouts.

Lindblom has made four appearances for the Pirates, posting a 7.84 ERA and a 2.03 WHIP over 10.1 innings. He threw 2.1 innings last night.

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.
