The Pittsburgh Pirates have made the following move today: The club has optioned right-handed relief pitcher Michael Feliz to Triple-A Indianapolis and have recalled Alex McRae.
ROSTER MOVE: Pirates have recalled RHP Alex McRae from Triple-A Indianapolis and RHP Michael Feliz has been optioned to Triple-A.
Feliz came over from the Astros this offseason and has struggled. With Houston, Feliz posted ERA’s of 4.43 and 5.63 in 2016 and 2017. However, there were some peripherals that stood out that the Pirates felt was worth the shot in acquiring him as the third piece in the Gerrit Cole trade.
