The Pittsburgh Pirates made a difference in the squad.

Pittsburgh announced its roster move ahead of an away game against the Texas Rangers on the 20th (Korea Standard Time).

Outfielder Billy McKinney (29), who was playing for Triple-A Indianapolis, was called up.

McKinney, a left-handed pitcher, has played 311 games in the Major League Baseball. Since his debut with the New York Yankees in 2018, he has played for six teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets, the Oakland Athletics, and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Corner outfield such as right fielder (125 games) and left fielder (122 games) are the main positions, but he has also played first baseman (28 games) and center fielder (12 games).

He played in 50 games in Triple-A this season and recorded a batting average of 0.295 on-base percentage of 0.396 slugging percentage of 0.450 5 home runs and 18 RBIs.[토토사이트](https://bsc.news/post/safe-totosite-ranking-top-15-major-safe-playground-2024)

Key third baseman Kibryan Hayes was placed on the injured list due to back inflammation.

He was showing below expectations with a batting average of 0.233 on-base percentage of 0.283 slugging percentage in 96 games this season.

Notably, he had shown the worst performance with a batting average of 0.196 in 13 games in August and 0.050 in the latest seven games. Eventually, he was listed as injured.

There are also changes in the pitching staff. Right-hander Hunter Stratton was called up and Ryder Ryan was given the transfer nomination. The move is aimed at making Stratton's place on the 26-man roster while also making McKinney's place on the 40-man roster.

Joshua Palacios, who was playing in rehab for Triple-A after suffering a hamstring injury, moved down to Triple-A using a minor option. He changed his status from a rehab player to a minor-league player.
