Bryan Reynolds Placed on Paternity List; Bligh Madris Joins Pirates

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds on the Paternity List prior to Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. To take his place on the 26-man roster, Bligh Madris was recalled from Indianapolis.

Madris batted .259/.286/.407 in 15 games with the Pirates earlier this year, in what was his first shot at the majors. Since being sent to Indianapolis three weeks ago, he hit .271/.327/.396 in 13 games. He’s been playing first base for the last week, and had a little bit of prior experience at the position earlier this year.

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.
