PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates placed outfielder Andrew Lambo on the disabled list Wednesday and called up utility man Steve Lombardozzi to take his spot on the roster.
Lambo, who's gone 1-for-25 at the plate this season, was sent to the 15-day DL due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Lambo has mostly been used as a pinch-hitter, making only three starts this season. He's the 19th-ranked prospect in the Pirates' farm system.
Lombardozzi, a switch-hitter, put together a .379/.460/.483 batting line with 13 RBIs and four steals in 100 plate appearances over 24 games for Triple-A Indianapolis.
