Pirates Are Reportedly Calling Up Canaan Smith-Njigba

According to Jason Mackey, the Pittsburgh Pirates are calling up outfielder Canaan Smith-Njigba and utility fielder Hoy Park. It’s unknown right now who they are replacing on the roster. It’s likely (but not definite) that one of them is joining the team tomorrow when the Pirates can add a 27th player for the doubleheader against the St Louis Cardinals.

Per sources: Pirates are calling up Canaan Smith-Njigba and Hoy Park. For Smith-Njigba, assuming he plays, it’ll mark his MLB debut.
