Yoslan Herrera, a Cuban defector who the Pirates signed to a three-year, $1.92 million contract in 2007, will get his chance to pitch in the majors Saturday.
Herrera was called up from Class AA Altoona after Friday night's game. He will replace Phil Dumatrait, who went back on the disabled list after making one start Monday.
Herrera was 5-8 with a 3.11 ERA with Altoona this season. He has allowed two runs or less in seven of his last eight starts.
Also, the Pirates reinstated Franquelis Osoria off the 15-day disabled list and sent Luis Munon back to Class AA Altoona. Munoz did not pitch for the Pirates after being recalled Thursday.
