The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds and IF/OF Cole Tucker on the COVID-19 Injured List prior to Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Outfielder Jack Suwinski and infielder Tucupita Marcano were recalled to take their place. Both players have been playing in Altoona and they’re on the 40-man roster.
Suwinski was just named as our Player of the Week today. We wrote about him here this morning. This year he is off to a .353/.421/.686 start in 13 games. This is his first trip to the majors.
Marcano has prior big league experience, seeing some time with the San Diego Padres during the 2021 season before joining the Pirates in the Adam Frazier trade.
