Minor Moves: Jake Brigham Returns, Carlos Paulino on Rehab

Published:

A few minor league moves from the last two days. On Friday, the Indianapolis Indians activated starting pitcher Jake Brigham from the disabled list. Brigham will make the start tonight, his first since June 3rd. He has a 3.32 ERA over 62.1 innings this season and is holding batters to a .231 BAA.

Catcher Carlos Paulino is on rehab assignment with the GCL Pirates today. He caught one inning in the GCL opener this afternoon. Paulino went on the disabled list in early May with right knee inflammation. He has played just 12 games this season prior to today. Paulino only played one inning because he was hit in the head with a pitch during his first at-bat.

Relief pitcher Jared LaKind was sent from West Virginia to Jamestown yesterday. In seven relief appearances for the Power, he had a 7.11 ERA in 12.2 innings, with 22 hits allowed and a 6/6 BB/K ratio. Infielder Adam Landecker, who was on the disabled list, took LaKind’s roster spot.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
