Some Pittsburgh Pirates fans will be happy to hear that Bryan Bullington has been called up by the team as they sent Marino Salas down to Triple-A.

Bullington had started the season off slow, but has picked things up lately as he has won his last three of four starts while only allowing two runs in his last thirteen innings of action.  Expect Bullington to pitch long relief out of the bullpen for now but ultimately end up in the starting rotation.

Salas who has struggled by giving up six runs in his last six innings of action was sent down.  Salas was sporting a 7.00 ERA and just wasn’t getting the job done.
