Minor Moves: Matt Gorski Returns to Altoona

A few minor league moves around the Pittsburgh Pirates system today, with a noteworthy headliner.

Matt Gorski has been activated off the 60-day injured list and he returns to Altoona. His rehab appearances in Bradenton didn’t go well, but just the fact that he’s been back in action when his initial timeline for return thought he would be out for the entire season, is good news. He hit .177/.222/.353 for Bradenton. He had a .934 OPS in 30 games for Altoona before he was injured while running out a triple on June 29th. Altoona still has ten games left, and it’s possible that he joins Indianapolis for their final nine games after the Altoona season ends, giving him more chances to make up for lost time.
