Roster move: Lambo out, Lombardozzi in
The Pirates have selected INF/OF Steve Lombardozzi from Triple-A Indy & have placed Andrew Lambo on the 15-Day DL (retro to May 4).

It’s anybody’s guess as to whether or not that’s a legitimate injury for Lambo, who was struggling so badly in his limited role that the Pirates had to do something soon….but we’ve suspected things like that before and they’ve usually turned out to be legit.
Lombardozzi, if you don’t recall, is sort of a journeyman utility guy that was acquired in a minor trade with the Orioles this winter. He was off to a very hot start with Indy so he makes sense as the choice to get the call up.
