The Pirates have called up ten players: pitchers Ross Ohlendorf (who will start on Wednesday), TJ Beam, Craig Hansen, Marino Salas, and Romulo Sanchez, second baseman Luis Cruz (Ty Taubenheim was released to clear space for him on the roster) shortstop Brian Bixler, corner guy Steve Pearce, and catchers Ronny Paulino and Robinzon Diaz. It'll be interesting to get our first looks at Ohlendorf and Diaz as Pirates; maybe they can be battery-mates on Wednesday.
