Sanders

Sanders was up for two days with Yohan Ramirez on the paternity list and threw 39 pitches on Monday. While Sanders is having a good season at Triple-A, he has allowed six runs on nine hits in 6 2/3 innings for the Pirates this season.

Sanders joins Pittsburgh’s bullpen mix with Yohan Ramírez away from the club on paternity leave. The 28-year-old righty has made five appearances at the highest level this season. He’ll operate in middle relief.

Sanders didn’t make an appearance in his three games on the Pirates roster, so he still has a 9.00 ERA in five innings this season.

Sanders returns to the big leagues as a September call-up for the Pirates ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old reliever made five appearances earlier this season during a brief stint at the highest level.

Sanders gave up five runs in five innings during his nine days with the Pirates. The team will add another pitcher ahead of Friday’s game against the Cubs.

Sanders has been added to Pittsburgh’s relief mix prior to Tuesday’s game against the Giants. The unheralded 28-year-old receives his first call-up to the big leagues after posting a stellar 1.91 ERA across 42 1/3 innings (33 appearances) this season between Triple-A Indianapolis and Double-A Altoona.
