Pirates Call Up Barco for Red Sox Showdown | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates shake up the bullpen, calling up lefty Hunter Barco while sending righty Wilber Dotel back to Triple-A, as reliever Lake Bachar takes the mound for three innings against the Red Sox. Barco, making his fourth stint with the team this year, is expected to pitch 3-4 innings after being scratched from his Indianapolis start — a role he’s handled before with decent results. Despite a rough ERA in Pittsburgh, his numbers have improved significantly at Triple-A. The Pirates need him to deliver strong innings if they’re to snap a losing streak and win their first series in over a month.
