Pirates recall relievers Jackson, Ledezma from Triple-A
DENVER -- The Pittsburgh Pirates recalled right-hander Steven Jackson and purchased the contract of lefty Will Ledezma from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Jackson was 3-0 with a 3.92 ERA in 31 games for Indianapolis. This is his third call-up of the season.
Ledezma was 0-1 with a 0.94 ERA and eight saves in 35 appearances for Indianapolis. He last pitched in a major league game April 18, 2009, while with the Washington Nationals.
The moves fill the roster spots vacated by starter Brad Lincoln and reliever Brendan Donnelly. On Sunday, Lincoln was optioned to Triple-A and Donnelly was designated for assignment.
