After going deep into their bullpen the past two games, the Pittsburgh Pirates added pitching depth Sunday by recalling right-hander Osvaldo Bido from Triple-A Indianapolis.
It will be the third stint with the Pirates this season for Bido, who is 2-5 with a 6.36 ERA and 1.54 WHIP while averaging 8.5 strikeouts and 3.9 walks per nine innings in 14 appearances (eight starts) in the majors. To make room on the 28-man roster for Bido, the Pirates placed left-handed pitcher Bailey Falter on the 15-day injured list with a left neck strain.
Falter started Saturday’s 13-12 win over the Cincinnati Reds, allowing eight runs on nine hits and one walk with one strikeout in two innings. He was 2-2, with a 5.58 ERA in 10 appearances (seven starts) since being acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies for infielder Rodolfo Castro at the trade deadline in August.
The Pirates also added right-handed reliever Cody Bolton (1-0, 6.52 ERA) to the taxi squad.
