The Pittsburgh Pirates made some minor league moves of note on Tuesday.
Henry Davis returns to Altoona after spending last week with Bradenton, where he went 3-for-9 with a homer and a 1.030 OPS in four rehab games. Prior to his return, he was out of action since July 2nd with a wrist injury. After dominating Greensboro, Davis hit .177/.320/.355 in 17 games with Altoona, though he was battling with a wrist issue that entire time.
With Davis returning to Altoona, Blake Sabol has been promoted to Indianapolis. He hit .281/.347/.486 in 98 games this season with Altoona, collecting 23 doubles, five triples and 14 homers. He has caught 58 games this year, in addition to 29 starts at DH and nine starts in left field.
Jared Triolo was placed on the 7-day Injured List with a left knee issue, which happened over the weekend. He is hitting .282/.376/.419 this year in 112 games, with 21 doubles, five triples, nine homers, 24 steals and 63 walks.
Josh Bissonette has rejoined Altoona after serving his second stint with Indianapolis. He is hitting .201/.309/.253 in 54 games this year, with most of his time spent with Indianapolis.
Matt Gorski is headed to Bradenton for a rehab assignment. When he originally got hurt, the timeline for his return made it unlikely that he would see action again this year, so this is a very pleasant surprise with three weeks left in the season for Altoona, and another ten days on top of that for Indianapolis if they want to promote him to make up for lost time. Between Greensboro and Altoona this year, he is hitting .294/.376/.664, with 23 homers and 17 steals in 67 games.
Catcher Luis Hernandez has been assigned to Greensboro. He has seen limited time in the FCL and with Bradenton this season, putting up a .508 OPS in 49 at-bats.
