Here are the players who will be with the Indianapolis Indians on Opening Day:
Catchers: Dusty Brown, Wyatt Toregas
Infielders: Pedro Ciriaco, Chase D’Arnaud, Brian Friday, Matt Hague, Josh Harrison, Andy Marte
Outfielders: Gorkys Hernandez, Andrew Lambo, Alex Presley, Corey Wimberly
Pitchers: Brian Burres, Sean Gallagher, Chris Leroux, Daniel McCutchen, Dan Meyer, Daniel Moskos, Rudy Owens, Justin Thomas, Cesar Valdez, Tony Watson, Justin Wilson, Tim Wood
The starting rotation looks to include Burres, Gallagher, McCutchen, Owens, and Wilson. I would expect that Brad Lincoln will join that group when he gets off the disabled list. Bryan Morris and Jeff Locke should also be arriving early in the season.
The Pirates signed Wood last week, and signed Meyer last night, giving the bullpen some depth.
Tyler Yates isn’t on any rosters due to an injury. An update on his condition should come later this week.
Tim started Pirates Prospects in 2009 from his home in Virginia, which was 40 minutes from where Pedro Alvarez made his pro debut in Lynchburg. That year, the Lynchburg Hillcats won the Carolina League championship, and Pirates Prospects was born from Tim's reporting along the way. The site has grown over the years to include many more writers, and Tim has gone on to become a credentialed MLB reporter, producing Pirates Prospects each year, and will publish his 11th Prospect Guide this offseason. He has also served as the Pittsburgh Pirates correspondent for Baseball America since 2019. Behind the scenes, Tim is an avid music lover, and most of the money he gets paid to run this site goes to vinyl records.
Where’s Jeff Clement?
