With the third annual Spring Breakout beginning in a couple of days, teams have done some updating to their rosters before the event begins. The initial 40 man rosters included each of Pipeline's Top 30 prospects, along with 10 extra players.
The updated roster have trimmed things down to 27 overall players, 10 pitchers and 17 hitters.
On the pitching side, the most notable name not included is Bubba Chandler, which isn't too much of a surprise seeing as he's expected to be a part of the major league rotation.
Other pitchers no longer listed on the roster: Hunter Barco, Thomas Harrington, Michael Walsh, Antwone Kelly, and Yonleg Gaetano. Pittsburgh native Justin Meis was added to the roster as well.
Top prospect Konnor Griffin is still listed on the roster.
Edward Florentino highlights the group of hitters that will no longer participate in the game. Rafael Flores Jr., Nick Yorke, and Jhostynxon Garcia are still in major league camp and will not play on Friday. Axiel Plaz, Jack Brannigan, and Sammy Stafura are also no long on the Breakout roster.
The Pirates will play the Detroit Tigers on Friday, 7:30 p.m. at LECOM Park.
