The Pirates open a three-game interleague series in Detroit tonight.
Joe Block has the preview.
The Pirates yesterday optioned left-handed relievers Sam Howard and Aaron Fletcher to Indianapolis, along with right-hander Miguel Yajure. Reliever Anthony Banda will likely be activated today from the injured list. The Bucs will have only one move to make because all Major League teams were mandated to reduce their big league rosters from 28 to 26 players as of May 2nd.
ALTOONA CURVE
After losing their last four games against Akron, the Curve start a six-game set at Erie tonight. Right-hander Mike Burrows looks to continue his hot start at Double-A. The 2018 11th-round draft choice is 1-0 with a 1.00 ERA in 18 innings over four starts for the Curve.
