PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates placed first baseman Spencer Horwitz on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring injury.
Horwitz was injured in an 11-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. He felt a grabbing sensation in his leg while grounding into a double play in the third inning. He was removed for a pinch-hitter an inning later.
In 74 games this season, Horwitz is hitting .280 with 10 home runs and 33 RBIs.
Infielder Jack Brannigan was recalled from Double-A Altoona. The 25-year-old has yet to make it in the big leagues after being selected in the third round of the 2012 draft from Notre Dame.
