Two days after being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pittsburgh Pirates, Kyle Lobstein has been optioned back to the Minor Leagues. It was not due to anything Kyle Lobstein had done, but simply because the Pittsburgh Pirates overused bullpen needs help. This latest stint for Lobstein was actually his best in the Major Leagues this season, as he pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings combined over the past two days.
Overall on the season Lobstein has done decent work as a swing man out of the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen. In 24 innings pitched Lobstein had a 4.13 ERA, he has allowed just two home runs, and he has a 49.
