The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled infielder Jason Rogers, right-handed reliever Curtis Partch, and have purchased the contract of right-handed reliever Jorge Rondon from Triple-A Indianapolis. To make room for these players the Pittsburgh Pirates designated left-handed reliever Cory Luebke for assignment, optioned right-handed reliever Rob Scahill to Triple-A, and placed right-handed pitcher Juan Nicasio on the restricted list.
This is the second time this season that Curtis Partch has been called up by the Pittsburgh Pirates, even though he did not appear in a game the first time around.
