Pirates make several roster moves this week with pitchers
The Pittsburgh Pirates made multiple roster moves this week to address bullpen struggles, including designating Ryan Harbin for assignment to make room for Chris Devenski. They also called up Cam Sanders and Hunter Barco while optioning Wilber Dotel, though Barco was later sent down after poor performance. The moves reflect an effort to stabilize the relief pitching, which has more blown saves than successful ones early in the season.
