The Pirates are calling up 2022 second-round pick Hunter Barco from Triple-A Indianapolis.

It’s unclear if he’ll get a start or finish the season in the pen. As with the surprise Rafael Flores callup last week, Barco needed to be added to the 40-man roster this winter anyway, so there’s little harm in promoting him now. The 24-year-old had a 2.81 ERA and a 116/49 K/BB in 99 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A. MLB Pipeline has him as the Pirates’ No. 4 prospect.
