The Pittsburgh Pirates made some moves ahead of the start of action around the minors this week.
Rodolfo Nolasco has returned from his second stint on the injured list. He last played on August 6th, so he was out for exactly a month this time. He was hitting .239/.333/.429 at the time, with 14 doubles and 11 homers in 74 games. He had a 1.250 OPS in 13 games in July.
Deivis Nadal was assigned to the FCL Pirates to open up room for Nolasco. With Tsung-Che Cheng, Jack Brannigan and Termarr Johnson playing every day, Nadal wasn’t seeing regular playing time.
