Pirates Prospects Daily: Pirates Affiliates Face Divison Leaders This Week

The Pittsburgh Pirates affiliates will face a handful of teams that are at the top of the standings, but marred with injuries to top prospects.

Currently the Indianapolis Indians are hovering at the bottom of the International League and their individual division. They’ll battle the Toledo Mud Hens who sit half a game back from leading the division, and two games back from the league leaders. The Detroit Tigers affiliate is light on prospects overall, with the biggest name being Justyn-Henry Malloy. He was acquired in the off-season as part of a return from the Atlanta Braves for reliever Joe Jimenez.
