Pirates reassign Paul Skenes, four others to Minor League camp, place Dauri Moreta on 60-day IL

The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to shape their roster in preparation for Opening Day.

On Sunday, the Pirates sent their top prospect and one of the most polarizing players in baseball, Paul Skenes, to Minor League camp.

Skenes pitched in two games this spring. In three innings of work, the 21-year-old allowed three hits, a solo home run, and struck out three.

The Pirates also reassigned catcher Carter Bins, infielder Sergio Alcantara, and outfielders Matt Gorski and Joe Perez. Relief pitcher Kyle Nicolas was also optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Skenes has only pitched 6.
