Pirates announce flurry of roster moves after disappointing trade deadline

After parting ways with four players in an abysmal showing at Thursday's MLB trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Pirates have called up some reinforcements from Triple-A Indianapolis.

The Pirates traded away four members of their active roster ahead of Thursday's deadline: starting pitcher Bailey Falter, lefty reliever Caleb Ferguson, third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes, and two-time All-Star closer David Bednar. They also flipped veteran southpaw reliever Taylor Rogers, whom they received from the Cincinnati Reds in the Hayes trade, before they had a chance to add him to their active roster.

Per a report from Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, infielder Jared Triolo and pitchers Ryan Borucki, Kyle Nicolas and Thomas Harrington will be the four active roster replacements for Pittsburgh ahead of Friday's series opener against the Colorado Rockies.
