Pirates reinstate Stewart, option Stallings

PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates swapped out one catcher for another Sunday morning, reinstating veteran Chris Stewart from the 10-day disabled list as they optioned rookie Jacob Stallings to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Stewart has been on the disabled list since May 30 due to a left hamstring strain. He was eligible to return June 9, but he cleared the last necessary physical hurdle -- running the bases -- on Friday. He did not take part in a Minor League rehabilitation assignment.
