PITTSBRURGH (AP) — Baseball's top pitching prospect is getting called up to the majors.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have decided to promote 22-year-old right hander Bubba Chandler ahead of their game Friday against the Colorado Rockies, a person familiar with the decision told The on Wednesday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the roster move was not yet official.
Chandler will join a staff that already includes 2024 NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes.
The Pirates are shuffling their pitching rotation after sending veteran left-hander Andrew Heaney to the bullpen last weekend.
Chandler got off to a hot start in Triple-A this year but has stumbled lately and is currently 5-6 with a 4.05 ERA this year for Indianapolis.
