Pirates Place Francisco Cervelli on the Disabled List: Recall Elias Diaz

Published:

Just one day after being removed from the disabled list, catcher Francisco Cervelli will be down for at least ten more days. He returned on Friday from a bothersome left wrist, then left last night’s game with left quadriceps irritation. The Pittsburgh Pirates placed him on the 10-day disabled list prior to Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Catcher Elias Diaz was sent down yesterday when Cervelli was activated. He was already back with Indianapolis and active for last night’s game, though he did not play. Diaz is back with the Pittsburgh Pirates and will backup Chris Stewart in tonight’s game.

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.
