The old Pirates Game Discussion on No Quarter is now a Daily Pirates Discussion. We will update the article throughout the day with game notes, links to Pittsburgh Baseball Network stories, and any news for the day.
Indianapolis and Greensboro are the only minor league teams playing today. A lot of TBD for the pitching. I’ll fill some of that in later depending on what is announced ahead of time.

NEWS AND RUMORS
The Pirates have announced two moves:
RHP David Bednar has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Bednar has been on the I.L. since 9/14 (retro to 9/11) with a right oblique strain. He made his last appearance with the Pirates on 9/7 vs. Detroit.
RHP Kyle Keller has been optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis. Keller most recently pitched Friday night in Philadelphia and tossed a scoreless inning. He has made a total of 29 appearances with the Pirates this season.
