The Pittsburgh Pirates activated pitchers Duane Underwood Jr and Zach Thompson from the injured list ahead of Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers. To make room on the 26-man roster, Yerry De Los Santos was placed on the 10-day injured list and Bryse Wilson was optioned back to Indianapolis after starting and winning yesterday’s game. Thompson is starting today’s game. Underwood was on the COVID-19 IL, while Thompson had right forearm nerve inflammation, which caused him to miss 15 days.
The Pirates also announced that they have acquired left-handed pitcher Manny Banuelos from the New York Yankees for cash considerations.
