According to Jason Mackey, outfielder Travis Swaggerty was a late scratch from the Indianapolis Indians lineup tonight so he could join the Pittsburgh Pirates ahead of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at PNC Park.
Travis Swaggerty, the Pirates’ 2018 first-round pick, was a late scratch from tonight’s game at Class AAA Indianapolis and will be flying to Pittsburgh tomorrow morning for his MLB debut.
Much more to come.

Swaggerty got off to a slow start this season, with a very high strikeout rate.
