CHICAGO -- The Pirates made a roster move on Saturday afternoon, recalling infielder Phil Gosselin from Triple-A Indianapolis and designating left-hander Antonio Bastardo for assignment.
Gosselin, who joined the team on Saturday and will wear No. 17, was hitting .287 with 11 extra-base hits and 18 RBIs prior to the callup. He has already played in 24 games with the Pirates this season and has had some success at the Major League level.
Gosselin hit .311 over 44 games in 2015 with two teams and slashed .277/.324/.368 with the D-backs last season. Although his batting numbers aren't as great this season, he did have the luxury of working on all facets of his game in the Minors, leading up to his return to the club.
