Duane Underwood Jr. - Heading to injured listUnderwood (hamstring) landed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

ImpactUnderwood (hamstring) left Thursday's season opener against the Cardinals with hamstring discomfort, an issue evidently serious enough to keep him out for at least 10 days. Roansy Contreras was called up to take his place on the roster.

Roansy Contreras - Returning to big leaguesContreras was recalled by the Pirates on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

ImpactContreras is one of the Pirates' top pitching prospects. He was called up for a single three-inning start last September but otherwise has only made one other start above Double-A. He was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis in late March but will be back for another opportunity already. Exactly what his role will be is unclear. Reliever Duane Underwood (hamstring) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Contreras could work out of the bullpen in his place or enter the rotation and push a different pitcher to that role.

Quinn Priester - Out with oblique injuryPriester landed on the 7-day injured list with Double-A Altoona on Friday due to an oblique injury, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

ImpactThe exact nature and severity of Priester's injury have not yet been announced. Priester is a fairly interesting prospect but is unlikely to make his big-league debut this season, as he spent all of last season at High-A Greensboro.

MLB Opening Day: D-backs walk it off against Padres

Tommy Edman - Swats solo shotEdman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.

ImpactEdman hit ninth Thursday against the right-handed JT Brubaker after hitting leadoff in an everyday role last season. His first hit of the season left the yard in the eighth inning off reliever Aaron Fletcher. Edman isn't known for his pop -- he's posted a modest 27 homers across his three major-league seasons. Batting at the bottom of the order could hurt the second baseman's production due to a drop in the volume of his plate appearances, though there's still a chance he'll hit leadoff against southpaws.
