Partch was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander turned in strong ratios with Triple-A Indianapolis this season but walks remain a major issue (4.5 BB/9) and the Pirates ultimately ruled Partch out for a September callup. His free passes have ticked up at every level, reaching 7.5 BB/9 so far in 22 major league appearances.

Partch was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Partch's latest stint with the big club lasted just three days, as he heads back to the Indianapolis. He's been very solid at the Triple-A level this season, where he owns a 2.05 ERA and 27.6 percent K-rate. If the Pirates need additional bullpen depth later in the season, it's quite possible that Partch will get the nod to return to The Show.

Partch was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Partch was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

Partch was designated for assignment back in June but will get the promotion to fill the roster spot of Arquimedes Caminero who was traded to the Mariners on Saturday. Partch has been a reliable reliever in Pittsburgh's Triple-A system, compiling a 2.05 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 48.1 innings and will bolster the Pirates bullpen during his most recent stay in the majors.

The Pirates designated Partch for assignment Sunday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 40-man roster spot was needed for starting pitcher Chad Kuhl, who is set to take the mound Sunday against the Dodgers, so Partch ended up being the casualty due to his status as a 29-year-old reliever with only a handful of MLB appearances on his resume. Partch has been a standout at Triple-A Indianapolis this season, sporting a 1.29 ERA and 0.97 WHIP while striking out 37 batters in 35 innings, which might be enough to entice another organization to grab him off waivers.

Partch has been sent back to Triple-A Indianapolis as the Pirates have called up pitcher Wilfredo Boscan, Stephen Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Partch, who pitched in relief Sunday, failed to record an out while giving up three earned runs to the Cubs. The 29-year-old right-hander owns a career 5.64 ERA in 30.1 MLB innings, spending time with both the Reds and the Pirates. Partch will head back to Triple-A Indianapolis where he owns a 1.36 ERA on the season with 37 strikeouts in 33 innings.

Partch was recalled by the Pirates on Saturday, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates had a roster shakeup prior to Saturday's game in Chicago, recalling Partch, Jason Rogers, and Jorge Rondon. Partch has not pitched in the major leagues since 2014, but he has put together a strong season as a reliever at Triple-A Indianapolis in 2016 with a 1.36 ERA across 33.0 innings. He'll serve as a hard-throwing righty out of the Pirates pen.

Partch was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Partch was only with the Pirates for four days and didn't appear in a game, so the right-handed reliever will now head back to Triple-A while Jameson Taillon is called up to start Wednesday's game against the Mets. Partch has an impressive 1.30 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 18 relief appearances at Triple-A this season and could become a factor at the MLB level later in the year.

Partch was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Stephen Newsbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Partch will join the Pirates' roster for the first time this season, and he hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2014, as a member of the Reds. The right-hander has fared well at Triple-A, compiling a 1.30 ERA and allowing just 16 hits and four earned runs over 27.2 innings. Pittsburgh also recalled Corey Luebke on Saturday and optioned both Rob Scahill and Wilfredo Boscan to Indianapolis.

Partch was reassigned to minor league camp Saturday, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports. Partch entered spring training as an extreme longshot to make the roster, and he didn't help his cause at all in seven Cactus League appearances with the big club. The right-hander was charged with 12 runs (eight earned) on 13 hits and four walks with just three strikeouts in eight innings. He's not on the 40-man roster but could be an option if the Giants get desperate for a fresh arm.
