Pearce called up – temporarily

The Pirates called up outfielder Steve Pearce from Indianapolis to take Matt Capps' spot on the roster.

Pearce batted .259 with 11 home runs and 50 RBI with Class AAA Indianapolis this season. He also batted .294 with no home runs and six RBI in 23 games late last season with the Pirates.

Pearce might not be up long, however, as both Phil Dumatrait and Ian Snell are scheduled to come off the disabled list within the next week – Dumatrait July 5 and Snell on the 8th.
