Dillon Peters - Joining big-league rosterPeters was recalled by the Pirates on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ImpactPeters has shown very little in 132.2 career major-league innings (24 starts and seven relief appearances), struggling to a 5.83 ERA and 1.61 WHIP while striking out just 16.7 percent of opposing batters. It looks as though he's up as a reliever for his first opportunity with his new team, which acquired him in a trade for cash considerations from the Angels in mid-July.
