The Pirates have recalled pitcher Wilber Dotel and optioned Cam Sanders to Class AAA Indianapolis.
Dotel, 23, would become the second Pirate, joining KonnorGriffin, to make his major-league debut this year when he appears in a game.
Dotel, who was selected to the 40-man roster on Nov. 18, recorded 13 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings over three Class AAA starts prior to being recalled. He did struggled a bit, though, with a 6.28 ERA and 1.74 WHIP.
Dotel is currently rated by both Baseball America (No. 9) and MLB Pipeline (No. 12) as a top-15 prospect in the Pirates’ system. He had 131 strikeouts in 125 2/3 innings pitched over 27 starts with Class AA Altoona last season. His 131 strikeouts led all Pirates minor leaguers and were the fourth-most in a season in Curve history (since 1999).
