The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled left-handed pitcher Kyle Lobstein, and have optioned left-hander Steven Brault. With Tyler Glasnow coming up tomorrow, and the rotation filled through Sunday, there wasn’t a need for Brault on the Major League roster. The only way they would need him is if Jon Niese had to go on the disabled list and couldn’t make his Sunday start, at which point they could recall Brault due to the injury.
In the mean time, Lobstein will give the Pirates some additional bullpen depth for one day, and will go back down tomorrow when Glasnow is officially added to the roster.
