Cam Devanney

The Pittsburgh Pirates have called up utility player Cam Devanney from Triple-A Indianapolis, according to Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. They're likely to place outfielder Ronny Simon (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Simon injured his left shoulder in the Pirates' 4-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday. The 28-year-old Devanney still has not appeared in a major league game since the Milwaukee Brewers selected him in the 15th round of the 2019 draft. The Pirates acquired him from the Kansas City Royals in a trade for infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier on July 16. Between the Triple-A affiliates for the Pirates and Royals, Devanney has slashed .269/.356/.499 with 20 homers, 66 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 431 plate appearances this season. Devanney is not in the Pirates' lineup on Saturday against the Red Sox, but he'll give the Bucs some outfield depth in the wake of injuries to Simon and Jack Suwinski (groin). He could also see time in the infield if another team claims shortstop/third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa, whom the Pirates placed on outright waivers on Friday.
