The Pirates have recalled left-handed reliever Evan Sisk from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of Friday's game against the Cardinals in St. Louis. Right-hander Noah Murdock was optioned to Indianapolis.
Sisk has made 36 relief appearances for the Pirates this season and is 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA. In 40.2 innings, he's allowed 12 runs on 33 hits with 18 walks and 47 strikeouts.
The 29-year-old missed a month after being placed on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation on the Fourth of July. After he was activated on Aug. 5, Sisk allowed three runs in 4.1 innings across four appearances and was optioned to Indianapolis eight days after he came off the IL.
In five appearances with Indianapolis after he was optioned, Sisk allowed four runs in 5.1 innings across five appearances.
Murdock was recalled by the Pirates on Tuesday. In three appearances for the Pirates this season across a couple different stints, the 28-year-old has totaled 3.1-scoreless innings with three hits, three walks and four strikeouts.
