The Pittsburgh Pirates have selected the contract of Chase De Jong and have optioned Yerry De Los Santos to Indianapolis. The move comes a day after the Pirates used seven relievers in a 4-3 win over the Cardinals. That included two outs from De Los Santos in the fifth inning, right before Ke’Bryan Hayes tied the game.
De Los Santos was called up prior to yesterday’s game, replacing Cody Bolton, who was previously called up this week through the revolving door for that final spot in the bullpen. De Jong will give the Pirates a fresh arm in the event that Rich Hill can’t go deep into the game.
