The Pittsburgh Pirates have had to make a little bit of a roster shuffle today. The team placed backup infielder Kevin Newman on the Injury List. This is according to the Pittsburgh Pirates team Twitter page, which stated that Newman was going to the Injury List due to a right finger laceration:
“We have recalled INF Kevin Kramer from Triple-A Indianapolis and have placed INF Kevin Newman on the 10-day injured list due to a laceration on his right middle finger (retro to April 9).”
To replace the 2015 first round pick, the Pittsburgh Pirates will recall 2015 second round pick, Kevin Kramer.
