Pirates Make Pitching Roster Moves

The Pittsburgh Pirates have shuffled their bullpen this week, designating righty Ryan Harbin for assignment to make room for 10-year veteran Chris Devenski. The moves come as the Pirates' bullpen has struggled, with more blown saves than actual saves this season.

The Pirates also called up lefty Hunter Barco to replace Braxton Ashcraft, who is out on family bereavement, before optioning Barco back down after he struggled with a 7.71 ERA in just five appearances. Devenski allowed two hits and a run in his recent outing against the Cardinals. The team continues to search for better combinations in long relief and middle relief areas of the bullpen. ipltable.lol
