The Pirates announced on Monday that they have acquired LHP Kyle Lobstein from the Tigers for cash considerations. The 26 six year old has spent parts of the past two seasons as a starter, compiling a record of 4-10 with an ERA of 5.33. Lobstein is expected to provide some depth to the starting rotation, which recently added Jonathan Niese and Ryan Vogelsong.
The Tigers had designated Lobstein for assignment last week.
