The news comes from the Post-Gazette’s Nubyjas Wilborn. The Pirates confirmed right-hander Nick Kingham and infielder Kevin Newman made the team, too.
Wilborn also writes the Pirates will take outfielder J.B. Shuck and left-hander Steven Brault to Cincinatti. Outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall exited early Monday after being hit by a pitch, and right-hander Jordan Lyles has been battling side pain this spring. If either one of them is placed on the injury list, Brault or Shuck will take their place. Shuck’s addition would require a corresponding move on the 40 man roster.
