Pirates Will Reportedly Call Up Oneil Cruz and Bligh Madris

According to multiple sources, the Pittsburgh Pirates plan to recall Oneil Cruz from Indianapolis and add outfielder Bligh Madris to the 40-man/26-man roster tomorrow. Cruz played two games in the majors last year, while the 26-year-old Madris will be making his big league debut.

Shortstop Oneil Cruz is being called up by the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Cruz started this year off horribly, both on offense and defense, but he has picked it up until having a down week this current week, going 4-for-20 with a double and two walks.
