No word on what the corresponding move would be. The two possibilities that come to mind would be Neil Walker to the disabled list, or releasing John McDonald. I feel it’s more of the former than the latter.
Charlie Wilmoth wrote this morning about how Mercer deserves to be on the 25-man roster.
UPDATE 4:45 PM: The Pirates have announced that Neil Walker has been placed on the 15-day DL, and Jordy Mercer has been recalled. Walker’s placement was retroactive April 27th.
