We usually don’t get minor league moves on Monday, unless they directly affect the big league team. However, the Pittsburgh Pirates made a move to address the injury bug that hit the Greensboro Grasshoppers hard behind the plate this past weekend.
Bradenton catcher Wyatt Hendrie has been promoted to Greensboro. He was a seventh round pick of the Pirates in 2021, who has moved slowly through the system to this point.
The 24-year-old Hendrie came from a strong San Diego State program, where he caught full-time in 2020 before the season was cut short due to the shutdown, then played 40 games behind the plate in 2021.
