ImpactAfter going 1-for-10 with four strikeouts in the Pirates' four-game series in Atlanta over the weekend, the lefty-hitting Mitchell will bow out of the starting nine with southpaw Zack Thompson on the bump for St. Louis. Pittsburgh will trot out an outfield of Tucupita Marcano, Bryan Reynolds and Jack Suwinski from left to right.

Bryse Wilson - Spot start on tapThe Pirates plan to call up Wilson from Triple-A Indianapolis to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader in St. Louis, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

ImpactPittsburgh is expected to designate Wilson as the 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll likely be sent back to Triple-A immediately after the spot start. Wilson submitted a 3.32 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB in 19 innings in his three starts for Indianapolis after losing his spot in the big-league rotation and getting optioned to the minors May 23.

Aaron Fletcher - Bound for Triple-AThe Pirates optioned Fletcher to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

ImpactFletcher didn't make any appearances out of the Pittsburgh bullpen after he was recalled from Indianapolis last Tuesday. He was sent to the minors to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for utility man Hoy Park.

Hoy Jun Park - Call-up officialThe Pirates recalled Park from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

ImpactPittsburgh optioned reliever Aaron Fletcher to Triple-A to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Park, who has previously appeared in six games with the big club this season. While he's up with Pittsburgh, Park will likely serve as a utility man and doesn't have a clear path to everyday playing time at present.

Canaan Smith-Njigba - Call-up officialThe Pirates recalled Smith-Njigba from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

ImpactAs anticipated, Smith-Njigba receives his first call-up to the big leagues after slashing .277/.387/.408 with 19 extra-base hits and an 8-for-11 success rate on stolen-base attempts in 218 plate appearances at Indianapolis. The Pirates optioned Travis Swaggerty to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster for Smith-Njigba, who could serve as the team's fourth outfielder while he's up with the big club.

Travis Swaggerty - Sent down MondaySwaggerty was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

ImpactSwaggerty made his major-league debut last week but went just 1-for-9 with four strikeouts after being called up by the Pirates on June 4. He'll head back to the minors to help make room on the active roster for Canaan Smith-Njigba and Hoy Park. In spite of Swaggerty's lackluster performance during his first taste of major-league action, he remains one of the Pirates' top prospects and will likely be back in the big leagues at some point.
