Josh Lindblom Activated from Disabled List; Sent Outright to Indianapolis

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates have activated pitcher Josh Lindblom from the 10-day disabled list and he has been sent outright to Indianapolis. Lindblom had to clear waivers first before he could be sent outright, which opens up a spot on the 40-man roster. The Pirates will need to make a decision with Antonio Bastardo soon, as his rehab assignment is just one day away from the 30 days maximum allowed for pitchers on rehab.

Lindblom pitched 10.1 innings over four appearances before he was placed on the disabled list to open up a 25-man roster spot for Jhan Marinez . Lindblom has made seven relief appearances for Indianapolis since starting his rehab on May 27th (same day as Bastardo). He has a 5.40 ERA in 11.2 innings during that time.

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.
