JT Brubaker and Miguel Yajure Return to Pirates

Published:

Prior to Wednesday’s day game against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated right-handed pitcher JT Brubaker from the Paternity List and recalled right-handed pitcher Miguel Yajure from Indianapolis. To make room on the 26-man roster, pitchers Eric Stout and Cam Vieaux were optioned to Indianapolis.

Yajure has been pitching better recently, but has still struggled in the majors and Indianapolis this year. He has a 4.18 ERA in his last 28 innings, compared to an overall 6.09 ERA in 54.2 innings with Indianapolis, and an 8.16 ERA in 14.1 innings with the Pirates this year. The 24-year-old has allowed three runs over ten innings in his last two starts, picking up seven strikeouts each game.

Stout has a 4.61 ERA in 14 appearances with the Pirates, posting a 1.83 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 13.2 innings.

Vieaux has a 10.38 ERA and a 2.31 WHIP in 8.2 innings, despite collecting 15 strikeouts in his eight appearances.

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.
