Pirates activated RHP Wilber Dotel from the 15-day injured list.

Dotel will serve as Pittsburgh’s 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Guardians, which enables the club to add him to the roster without sending anyone down. The 23-year-old rookie has shown some flashes of potential while pitching to a serviceable 5.89 ERA and 19/9 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings this season. He’s been out with a lat strain since mid-June.
