Pirates recall LHP Eric Stout, DFA pitchers Tyler Beede and Dillon Peters
The Pittsburgh Pirates announced a series of roster moves Thursday afternoon ahead of their first of four games in New York vs. the Mets.
Lefty reliever Eric Stout was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. Stout owns a 4.34 ERA through 17 appearances this season, 15 of which have been with the Pirates since being traded from the Chicago Cubs.
In 27 outings between Chicago’s and Pittsburgh’s Triple-A affiliates on the year, Stout went 3-2 with a 2.93 ERA.
In addition, the Pirates designated right-handed pitcher Tyler Beede for assignment. Beede went 2-5 with a 5.14 ERA with the Pirates this season, appearing in 31 games.
Five of those appearances were starts, as Beede joined the Pirates’ rotation in a fill-in capacity back in August, helping to plug the hole left by the trade of Jose Quintana to St. Louis back on the first of the month.
A steady presence out of the bullpen, Beede struggled as a starting pitcher. In his five starts for the Pirates, he was 0-3 with a 9.60 ERA.
Left-hander Dillon Peters was also designated for assignment Thursday following the completion of a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona.
He had been placed on the injured list with left elbow inflammation on Aug. 4.
In 22 appearances with the Pirates this season, he was 5-2 with a 4.58 ERA.
Thursday’s roster moves leave the Pirates with 38 players on the current 40-man roster.
