PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates placed catcher/first baseman Endy Rodriguez on the 10-injured list with a lacerated right index finger.
Rodriguez was catching when he got hurt during a 10-3 victory over Washington. He was hit on the hand by a pitch in the dirt by Paul Skenes, and the injury required five stitches.
The Pirates recalled right-hander Chase Shugart from Triple-A Indianapolis.
Rodriguez has made nine starts at first base and five at catcher this season, hitting .178 with two RBIs.
The injury leaves the Pirates thin at two positions.
Henry Davis is their only healthy catcher, with Joey Bart missing his fourth straight game because of lower back soreness.
