Pirates promote Alex Presley, demote Josh Harrison

USA TODAY Sports

The Pirates have promoted Alex Presley and demoted Josh Harrison. It didn't make much sense that Harrison was with the team to begin with, so it's good to see him replaced with someone who might actually hit. I still would prefer to see Jerry Sands in that spot, since Sands is right-handed and Travis Snider is a lefty, but Presley is still a better option than Harrison was.

The Pirates have also activated Chase d'Arnaud and optioned him to Indianapolis.
