According to Andrew Destin of the Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Pirates will recall catcher Henry Davis, while placing catcher Joey Bart on the injured list. Bart hurt his left hamstring in Sunday’s game against the Reds trying to beat out a grounder to first.
This will be the third appearance for Davis in the majors this season. The former first overall pick has combined to hit .153/.267/.235 in his previous time at the big league level. That came with a 39.2% strikeout rate.
Davis has performed better in Triple-A, and lately has done so while cutting down on the strikeouts.
