A day after claiming right-handed reliever Jhan Marinez off waivers, the Pittsburgh Pirates have officially added him to their 25-man roster. To make room for Marinez on the 25-man roster the Pirates have placed fellow right-handed reliever Josh Lindblom on the 10-day disabled list. This keeps the Pirate bullpen at 4 right-handed pitchers and a trio of southpaws.
Josh Lindblom had been used in long relief and mop-up duty for the Pirates the past few weeks. He had pitched 10 1/3 innings allowing a staggering 18 hits, however, he did not allow a home run.
