Gamel, Delay and Tsutsugo Rejoin Pirates

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates made a bunch of roster moves prior to Tuesday night’s game against the New York Yankees. Ben Gamel and Yoshi Tsutsugo have been activated off of the injured list after completing a rehab assignment with Indianapolis. To make room on the 26-man roster, infielders Hoy Park and Tucupita Marcano were optioned to Indianapolis.

Jason Delay has rejoined the Pirates. He is taking the place of Tyler Heineman, who has been put on the paternity leave list. Delay played one game with the Pirates back on June 14th, which was his big league debut.

The Pirates also announced that infielder Yu Chang was claimed off of waivers by the Tampa Bay Rays. He was designated for assignment last week.

Gamel last played on May 28th, when he suffered a left hamstring strain. He batted .226/.314/.355 in eight games for Indianapolis. Tsutsugo crushed the ball in his nine games with Indianapolis, posting a .440/.556/.760 slash line. He last played on May 24th when he suffered a lumbar muscle strain.

Park hit .220/281/.380 in 22 games with the Pirates. Marcano batted .229/.280/.357 in 22 games with the Pirates.

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.
