Pirates recall Kyle Nicolas from AAA, option Ryder Ryan

Related Topics: Ryder Ryan

RHP Kyle Nicolas has been recalled from AAA Indianapolis ahead of tonight's game in San Fransisco against the Giants. Per Alex Stumpf of MLB.com

It comes after RHP Ryder Ryan was optioned following the conclusion of yesterday’s game, although it was not officially listed until today.

The move very likely has more to do with getting a fresh arm up for this west coast swing than Ryan’s performance after seeing multiple relievers pitch multiple innings in the four-game set against the Brewers, including a bullpen game in third game that was started by LHP Josh Flemming.
