The Pittsburgh Pirates announced that they have recalled left-handed pitcher Steven Brault from Indianapolis. To make room on the 25-man roster, lefty reliever Buddy Boshers has been optioned to Indianapolis. Brault was sent down on August 3rd, so he didn’t use an option.

The Pittsburgh Pirates optioned left-handed pitcher Steven Brault to Indianapolis prior to Friday’s game with the St Louis Cardinals.

PITTSBURGH — On Friday, Rays manager Kevin Cash announced that his club would do something not often tried in Major League Baseball: Deploy a relief pitcher as his starter.

PITTSBURGH — Through two starts this season, Pirates left-hander Steven Brault has done pretty much all the club could have asked for out of a last-minute spot starter.

PITTSBURGH — It’s the start of National League play for the Pirates after a 4-1 start that was all built on interleague action against the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins.

PITTSBURGH — Pirates lefty Steven Brault spent the entirety of Spring Training working as a starting pitcher. That made sense, after all.
