Here’s a look at the minor league moves for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. There’s an update on the pitching at Indianapolis. If anything else comes up today, we will add it below as an update.
Right-handed pitcher Colin Selby has been placed on the 7-day Injured List for Indianapolis. The 25-year-old was added to the 40-man roster this past off-season. He has made 14 appearances this year, posting a 4.11 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, a .164 BAA and an 11:20 BB/SO ratio over 15.1 innings.
Selby made five straight scoreless appearances before allowing two runs in his last game yesterday. That five-game stretch included him going six innings, with no hits, three walks and 12 strikeouts.
Right-handed pitcher John O’Reilly rejoins Indianapolis after a brief stint on the Development List. He has a 7.90 ERA over 14 appearances, with 14 strikeouts in 13.2 innings.
O’Reilly was temporarily removed from the roster when right-handed pitcher Chase De Jong was activated from the Temporary Inactive List on Tuesday.
UPDATE: Pirates have released left-handed pitcher Denny Roman, who will now go to play in his home country of Mexico. He has been in Extended Spring Training this year. After splitting last year between Bradenton and Greensboro.
The 24-year-old Roman had a 1.30 ERA in 27.2 innings with Bradenton, but slipped to an 8.86 ERA over 21.1 innings with Greensboro, where his WHIP was nearly twice as high.
He debuted in the Pirates system in 2018. He did so well during his time in the Dominican Summer League that year, that the Pirates bumped him up to Bristol, skipping the Gulf Coast League.
