The Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting 2018 first-round pick and outfielder Travis Swaggerty, according to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Swaggerty, 24, was selected No. 10 overall and has played the past two seasons in Triple-A Indianapolis.

Pittsburgh’s No. 13 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, was a late scratch before Indianapolis’ game Saturday night at Omaha.

Swaggerty is hitting .280 in 35 games for the Indians in 2022. He has recorded five doubles, two triples, four home runs, and 22 RBI in 132 at-bats.

Mackey reported that Swaggerty will be flying to Pittsburgh tomorrow morning to make his debut.
