Jordy Mercer is back from paternity leave. To make room on the roster, Daniel McCutchen was optioned to AAA.
McCutchen faced two batters while he was up, surrendering a walk and a home run in Tuesday’s loss. Mercer is hitting .212/.250/.404 over 56 plate appearances in his rookie year. He’ll resume his role as back up middle infielder.
Kevin Correia returns to the bullpen as the Pirates go back to a five man rotation.
