Ever since Oneil Cruz went down with an ankle injury, the middle infield has been an issue for the Pittsburgh Pirates. With poor results coming from the guys who stepped up in Cruz’s absence, the Pirates are looking to the minor leagues for help.
In a tweet Monday morning, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that the Pirates are reportedly calling up veteran Chris Owings from Indianapolis, however the team has not officially announced the move yet.
Per sources, Pirates bringing up Chris Owings, 31. Has played for Diamondbacks, Royals, Red Sox, Rockies and Orioles.
