RELIEVER SHUGART PUT ON INJURED LIST, SUWINSKI CALLED UP

Before the game, the Pirates sent right-handed reliever Chase Shugart to the 15 day injured list with left knee inflammation.  Over 32 games, he is 4-3 with a 3.69 ERA, striking out 22 and walking 15 in 39 innings of work. 

In a corresponding move, the Bucs recalled Jack Suwinski.  The outfielder has not fared well at the plate in the big leagues this year so far.  In 18 games, his batting average was .119 with 20 strikeouts at the time of his demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis.  But in Triple-A, he has batted .280 with 12 homers and 48 RBIs in 53 games.
