Carlson Reed, the Pirates' fourth-round pick from 2023, was assigned to the Florida Complex League team on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment. He has yet to pitch this year after being placed on the 60-day injured list to start the season.
Pitching for the Bradenton Marauders and Greensboro Grasshoppers in 2024, Reed posted a combined 1.99 ERA over 108 2/3 innings pitched, striking out 130 batters. Only Bubba Chandler finished with more strikeouts among Pirates' minor leaguers last season.
Pitching mostly as the West Virginia closer in 2023, Reed switched to the rotation last year. He is the Pirates' 16th-ranked prospect on Baseball America.
