The Pirates have selected the contract of relief pitcher Yohan Ramírez from Class AAA Indianapolis and optioned Jared Triolo. Matt Gorski has been designated for assignment to make room for Ramírez on the 40-man roster.
Ramírez has produced a 3.19 ERA, struck out 41 batters, and walked 12 over 31 innings in Indianapolis. He's converted seven of his nine save opportunities and has posted a 1.88 ERA in his last 12 appearances.
Ramirez will help fill the void left in the bullpen by Chase Shugart, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation earlier this week in Kansas City. Rather than recall another reliever at the time, JackSuwinski was recalled as the corresponding move.
In other bullpen-related news, Ryan Borucki (low back inflammation) has had his rehab assignment moved to Indianapolis. Borucki made one appearances with low Class A Bradenton, throwing 10 pitches and striking out a batter in a scoreless inning.
