The Pittsburgh Pirates made a plethora of roster moves to close the book on July.
Most notably, the Pirates activated outfielder Bryan De La Cruz and made his Pirates debut Wednesday with a 2-4 performance. The Bucs acquired De La Cruz for minor-league pitcher Jun-Seok Shim and infielder Garret Forrester.
Pittsburgh’s first Toronto utilityman Isiah Kiner-Falefa, a distant cousin of former Pirates star Ralph Kiner. Rising INF/OF prospect Charles McAdoo completed the straight one-for-one deal before the deadline.
REHAB ALERT!
Isiah Kiner-Falefa will be in the lineup tonight in Altoona as he makes his Pirates organization debut!
