Pittsburgh Pirates Make Collection of Moves Ahead of Doubleheader

As the Pittsburgh Pirates get ready to face off with the Reds in a doubleheader thanks to a rainout back in their opening series in March, the team has made a few moves.

To start, RHP Richard Rodriguez has been added to the active roster as the 26th man for the doubleheader. Rodriguez was optioned to AAA Indianapolis ten days ago after sporting a 5.49 ERA in 22 appearances, getting taken deep eight times in just 19.2 innings pitched out of the bullpen.

The Pirates also decided to option RHP Dovydas Neverauskas to AAA.
