Pirates' Geoff Hartlieb: Recalled by Pirates

Hartlieb was recalled by the Pirates on Thursday.

The Pirates need another pitcher with Chad Kuhl (shoulder) landing on the injured list. Hartlieb won't be taking Kuhl's rotation spot, as he hasn't started a single game as a professional. In 50 appearances at the major-league level, he's struggled to a 6.91 ERA and 1.83 WHIP.
