The Pirates have sent Alex Presley to Indianapolis and recalled Evan Meek. The Pirates would have been operating with a short 'pen due to Brad Lincoln's spot start. They'll probably send Meek back down in a couple days, then recall Jake Fox for the interleague series in Detroit.
Presley certainly played his way out of a starting job pretty quickly. I can't say I'm particularly upset about his demotion; he was really getting dominated out there, with just four walks so far and a .220 average that was fueled by a bunch of infield singles. You can claim that it's unjust that he's the first to go, with several players on the team who have actually hit even worse, but oh well.

Poll
If the PIrates do recall Jake Fox later this week, they will have to make a corresponding move to the 40-man roster. Who would you designate for assignment?
