Michael A. Taylor<\/a>‘s time in a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform may come to an end thanks to Thursday\u2019s recall<\/a> of outfielder Joshua Palacios<\/a>. On Wednesday, sources reported that Palacios was going to join the big club in time for that evening\u2019s game against the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park. A few hours later, it was reported that the Pirates had changed their mind. Apparently, it was slugging outfielder Jack Suwinski<\/a> who was going to Triple-A Indianapolis in the corresponding move. However, Suwinski bought himself a reprieve by going 3-for-3 with a home run against the Cardinals on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

When starting pitcher Jared Jones<\/a> went on the injured list<\/a> with a lat strain, it gave the Pirates a second opportunity to add Palacios to the team. When Jones\u2019s turn in the rotation comes up next, a pitcher will have to be added to the active roster. A position player, likely an outfielder, will have to go.<\/p>\n

We have recalled OF Joshua Palacios from Triple-A Indianapolis and placed RHP Jared Jones on the 15-day injured list.<\/p>\n
