Pittsburgh Pirates Promote Johnny Barbato; Bastardo DL

There it is, the move that many fans have waited for, well sort of. According to Adam Berry, the Pittsburgh Pirates beat writer at MLB.com, Antonio Bastardo has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. Apparently Bastardo is dealing with a “quad strain.” Antonio Bastardo has been a train wreck so far this season. Over the off-season, the Pittsburgh Pirates apparently worked hard to deal the veteran lefty but were not able to make a deal. Many thought a deal could take place during Spring Training, however Bastardo did not do the Pittsburgh Pirates any favors by having a terrible Spring.
