INDIANAPOLIS – Alen Hanson’s first trip to the big leagues was a short one. The second baseman was only up for three games, replacing Starling Marte while the left fielder was on paternity leave.

BRADENTON, Fla. – The Pittsburgh Pirates made two cuts this morning, reassigning right-handed pitchers Guido Knudson and Wilfredo Boscan to minor league camp. Both moves are expected, as neither player would have factored into the Opening Day roster. However, both guys could be used as depth throughout the season. Knudson is a hard thrower who […]
