The Pittsburgh Pirates made some roster moves ahead of Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Pitcher Roansy Contreras has been recalled from Indianapolis. Tyler Heineman has been activated from the 10-day Injured List. To make room on the 26-man roster, pitcher Austin Brice has been designated for assignment and catcher Jose Godoy has been optioned to Indianapolis.
Contreras was announced yesterday as the starter for tonight’s game. He was optioned to Indianapolis last month in an effort to limit his innings. He ended up making four starts, expanding his pitch count each time, going five innings in his final start six days ago.
