Jordan Luplow is Reportedly Getting Called Up Friday

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly calling up outfielder Jordan Luplow for Friday’s game in San Diego. His college baseball team announced the news on Twitter this evening.

With the Pirates off on Thursday, you will likely see the first part of the transaction, which could possibly be Steven Brault being returned to Indianapolis, unless the Pirates want to keep the extra arm in the bullpen. The second part wouldn’t become official until Friday before the game.

Brian Peloza recently featured Luplow in an article, mentioning what he is working on in Triple-A, while getting ready for the majors. He is hitting .324/.407/.568 in 21 games with Indianapolis. He leads the entire farm system this season with 21 homers.

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.
