Minor Moves: Ji-hwan Bae to Injured List

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates had a few minor league transactions on Thursday, including three players getting promoted.

Ji-hwan Bae left Sunday’s Indianapolis game early after running down the first base line and he hasn’t played since. On Thursday, he was placed on a 7-day injured list with a left oblique strain. He is currently hitting .297/.364/.450 in 83 games, with 29 extra-base hits and 20 stolen bases. Bae was likely in line for a promotion to the majors after the trade deadline, so this is bad timing for him, especially if it’s long-term.

The Pirates promoted Mike Jarvis from Greensboro to Indianapolis. This was likely done out of a need for a versatile player short-term for Indianapolis because Jarvis was hitting just .175 since joining Greensboro a few weeks ago. He has played six positions since being drafted last year, which will help out for an Indianapolis team that had a bench that consisted of two catchers yesterday and that’s it.

Outfielder Angel Basabe moved from Bradenton to Greensboro. He was hitting .257/.353/.378 in 25 games for Bradenton this year. This also could be a short-term promotion because Jase Bowen would have likely moved up if it was a long-term spot. Basabe was doing well in the pitcher-friendly league, but Bowen has been playing well for a much longer time at the level.

Outfielder Jauri Custodio moved from the FCL Pirates to Bradenton. He has a 1.072 OPS in the FCL, though he has played just 12 games.

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.
