The Pittsburgh Pirates made some minor league moves ahead of today’s action. Here’s a summary.
Pitcher Tyler Samaniego was promoted from Greensboro to Altoona. The 23-year-old lefty was a 15th round draft pick last year. He allowed one earned run over seven innings with Bradenton last year. This season he has allowed one earned run on three hits over 17 innings, with a 24:11 SO/BB ratio in 14 appearances.
Pitcher Shea Murray was released. The 28-year-old right-hander struggled through six appearances this year with Indianapolis, allowing 15 hits and seven walks in 5.2 innings. He gave up 18 runs, though only eight were earned.
