Pirates' Wilfredo Boscan: Could be recalled for spot start Tuesday

Boscan is a candidate to make a spot start Tuesday against the Giants, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

With Juan Nicasio on the restricted list and unlikely to rejoin the team for a few days, the Pirates will likely need a spot starter for Tuesday's contest against the Giants. Boscan is reportedly in line to start that day at Triple-A Indianapolis according to Berry, so he'd be a logical choice to get the call-up given that he'd be going on regular rest. While no move will likely be made official until early in the week, Boscan will be a name to monitor over the next few days. Boscan has not started at the major league level this season, but in nine starts at Triple-A Indianapolis, he has a 2.92 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP.
