Luebke hits DL as Pirates call up Scahill

PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates made a late change to their bullpen Thursday afternoon, calling up right-hander Rob Scahill from Triple-A Indianapolis and placing lefty Cory Luebke on the 15-day disabled list with right hamstring tightness.

Scahill made one appearance for Indianapolis this season -- a scoreless inning on Sunday -- before going on the paternity list. The 29-year-old right-hander posted a 2.64 ERA in 30 2/3 innings over 28 appearances for the Pirates last season.

Having made his way back from a series of injuries and setbacks that kept him out of the Majors the last three years, Luebke struggled in three appearances out of the bullpen.
