Predicting Pirates September Roster Additions (+)

With the flip of the calendar from August to September, Major League Baseball rosters will expand. The Pittsburgh Pirates, like the other 29 teams in the league, will be adding two players to the active roster, pushing the total from 26 to 28. Teams can carry no more than 14 pitchers, so the Pirates will be adding at least one position player for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians.

There are a handful of players currently with Triple-A Indianapolis who are logical candidates to join the Pirates. Also of note, the Pirates have two open spots on the 40-man roster, so they can freely add someone if needed without having to make a corresponding move.
