Chris Stewart Placed on Disabled List, Eric Fryer Added to Roster

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed catcher Chris Stewart on the 15-day disabled list with left knee discomfort. As mentioned yesterday, the Pirates claimed catcher Eric Fryer off waivers and he will take Stewart's spot on the roster today. It's interesting that Fryer was on the St Louis Cardinals when he got put on waivers, and that's where he ends up meeting the Pirates for a four-game series.

Also, Elias Diaz has been assigned to Bradenton on rehab today, so he could be rejoining Indianapolis soon. He will likely need time before he is ready for the majors since he hasn't played a game since Spring Training.
