Pirates Make Minor League Assignments in Roster Cuts
The Pittsburgh Pirates have re-assigned Miguel Andújar and Angel Perdomo to minor league camp, leaving Rule 5 Draft addition Jose Hernandez as the only left-handed pitcher in the team's Opening Day bullpen. The team now has 36 players remaining in major league camp, with the final spots in the bullpen, bench, and backup catcher still unsettled. First baseman/outfielder Connor Joe exited Sunday's game after being hit in the left hand with a pitch, but the Pirates said he was pulled for precautionary reasons and is day-to-day.
