This season, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been ravaged with injuries. On Friday, Trevor Williams was placed on the injured list. With this move Williams became the 20th different Pirate player to spend time on the IL this season.
All of the injuries have caused the Pirates to have to dip deep into their minor league system at some positions. They have also had to add players from outside the organization. One of these players is utility infielder Jake Elmore.
Last month, Elmore was acquired from the Chicago White Sox and sent to Triple-A.
