CHICAGO — The banged-up Pirates called up C Jacob Stallings from Triple-A Indianapolis.
The son of new University of Pittsburgh basketball coach Kevin Stallings joined a major-league roster for the first time before Sunday night's game against the Cubs. He replaced INF Jason Rogers, who was sent to Triple A.
The Pirates are dealing with multiple injuries at catcher. Francisco Cervelli is recovering from a broken left hand, Elias Diaz is out after elbow surgery and Chris Stewart has general soreness.
Kevin Stallings left Vanderbilt to join Pittsburgh earlier this year.
