Keston Hiura was demoted back to the minor leagues yesterday during the off-day, and this afternoon it was announced that utilityman Jace Peterson would be coming up from Triple-A Nashville to take the open spot on the roster before the start of tonight’s series opener in Cincinnati. Peterson had previously been outrighted to Triple-A last month, so his contract was re-added to the 40-man roster.
Signed to a minors deal before the start of the regular season, Peterson is so far having one of the best offensive performances of his career split between the Triple-A and MLB levels.
