The Pittsburgh Pirates placed third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday’s home game against the Boston Red Sox. To take his place on the 26-man roster, infielder Kevin Padlo has been recalled from Indianapolis.
Hayes didn’t play over the weekend due to a back injury. The Pirates had hoped he would be able to play today after a Monday day off as well, but he was unable to go, some Padlo joins the Pirates for the first time. He was recently claimed off of waivers from the Seattle Mariners. He had a strong first full week in the Pirates system with Indianapolis, getting named as their Player of the Week after putting together a 1.426 OPS that was the tops in the system. Padlo is in the starting lineup today at first base.
The Pirates also announced that Roansy Contreras will get the start tomorrow. He is currently with the Pirates, but won’t be added to the active roster until tomorrow.
