Max Moroff News
Cleveland Indians shortstop Max Moroff hit a home run on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI in Game 1 of a double header. Moroff is a career .179/.269/.304 hitter so this was probably one of the best games of his career. With Francisco Lindor back from the injured list, Moroff won't be getting much more playing time going forward.
The Cleveland Indians acquired outfielder Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Erik Gonzalez and minor league pitchers Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza. This trade doesn't move the needle all that much for fantasy or real life, but it gives the Tribe some more options for depth both in the outfield and on the infield. Luplow hit just .185 with three homers and seven RBI in 92 at-bats for Pittsburgh last year, but he hit .287 with eight long balls, 49 RBI and seven steals at Triple-A Indianapolis. Moroff hit .186 with three homers and nine RBI in 59 at-bats in the big leagues and .223 with eight homers and 38 RBI in 74 games with Indianapolis.
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday with a right forearm strain. He was removed from last Tuesday's game after the fifth inning. The DL move is retroactive to June 27. The Pirates have recalled infielder Max Moroff in place of Kuhl. Moroff went 8-for-37 with two homers and six RBI with the club earlier this April and May. He should provide another bat and infield depth while Sean Rodriguez is on the DL with Kuhl
