After game one of a doubleheader on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Pirates optioned right-handed pitcher Roansy Contreras to Indianapolis and recalled left-handed relief pitcher Eric Stout.
According to Jason Mackey, Contreras will make two controlled starts with Indianapolis, before returning to the Pirates after the All-Star break. He has already pitched 70.1 innings this year after throwing a total of 75 innings during his injury-shortened 2021 season, which included fall league totals. There are some conflicting reports about when he will actually make those stats. He’s going to be on the taxi squad for the Pirates, so they may need to use him in the meantime.
