Triple-A: Indianapolis Indians
After finally inching back to even, the Indianapolis Indians — sitting 4.5 games back of division lead — welcome to town the Omaha Storm Chasers. The Kansas City Royals affiliate is last in the division, with the second worst record in the International League. There aren’t many top prospects to talk about, with the sole top 5 prospect Nick Loftin on the injured list. It’s, a very veteran laden roster, as we’ve often become accustomed to with Pirates affiliates at times.
