The Pirates have recalled outfielder Cal Mitchell and right-handed pitcher Johan Oviedo from Class AAA Indianapolis, as major-league rosters expand to 28 players starting Sept. 1.
No corresponding moves to the major-league or 40 man rosters are necessary.
This will be Mitchell's third stint in the majors this year, most recently being optioned on August 9. In 44 major-league games this year, he has slashed .204/.241/.336 with four home runs and 13 RBIs.
The rookie has fared much better with Indianapolis, especially of late, where he hit .375 with a 1.126 OPS in the month of August.
