Pirates Call Up Liover Peguero
1 year agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates are calling up infield prospect Liover Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday and are optioning outfielder Josh Palacios to Indianapolis in a corresponding move. The 22-year-old Peguero is Pittsburgh's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he gets the call to the Show after hitting a combined .260/.333/.462 with 13 home runs, 20 doubles, two triples, 39 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 54 runs scored in 76 games at Indy and Double-A Altoona. Most of his action came for Altoona. Peguero made his big-league debut in 2022 but played in only one game. At least in the short term, he could see regular playing time at shortstop for the Bucs, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup in deeper leagues. Speed will be his biggest asset, but he could struggle at the plate if he chases outside the zone.
