Pirates' Curtis Partch: Optioned Tuesday

Partch was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Partch's second stint in the majors this season lasted only three days as he will now head back to Triple-A ball as Chad Kuhl gets recalled in a corresponding roster move. Partch tossed 0.2 scoreless frames in an appearance in Sunday's game against Cincinnati and figures to remain with Triple-A Indianapolis the rest of the season unless the Pirates are in need of bullpen depth.
