Pirates add Boscan to roster from Indianapolis

By Bill Brink / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

CHICAGO – The Pirates today added right-hander Wilfredo Boscan from Class AAA Indianapolis to the active roster to help a bullpen depleted by Friday’s 12-inning, 11-10 game.

Infielder Steve Lombardozzi was optioned to Indianapolis to make room on the active roster. The Pirates transferred right-hander Brandon Cumpton, who will miss the season because of Tommy John ligament replacement surgery, to the 60-day disabled list to make room on the 40-man roster.

Boscan was starting for Indianapolis and was scheduled to pitch today, meaning he has a full start’s worth of pitches at the ready.
