2:27PM: The Pirates officially announced Devanney\u2019s promotion, with Simon heading to the 10-day IL.\u00a0 Simon suffered a dislocated left shoulder, so in all likelihood his 2025 season is over.\u00a0 Making his MLB debut with the Marlins earlier this year, Simon\u2019s first year in the Show saw him hit .234\/.299\/.273 over 88 total PA with Miami and Pittsburgh, with the move to the Bucs coming via waiver claim in early June.<\/p>\n
11:37AM: Ronny Simon<\/a> is likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list in the corresponding move for Devanney, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/a> writes.\u00a0 Simon was removed from yesterday\u2019s game due to a left shoulder injury after an awkward slide into home plate.\u00a0 This means that Devanney could be used more in the outfield than in the infield, depending on what happens with Kiner-Falefa\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n 10:26AM: The Pirates are calling up infielder Cam Devanney<\/a> from Triple-A Indianapolis, according to Jose Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports<\/a>.\u00a0 The corresponding 26-man roster move isn\u2019t yet known, and Devanney is already on the Bucs\u2019 40-man roster.<\/p>\n Devanney will be making his Major League debut whenever he appears in a game, though this isn\u2019t his first time in the Show.\u00a0 The Royals selected his contract from Triple-A in July but didn\u2019t use Devanney in a game during his week-long stint on the active roster, though some of that stint was taken up by the All-Star break.\u00a0 Before the second half of the season could begin, Kansas City traded Devanney to Pittsburgh in the one-for-one swap<\/a> that brought Adam Frazier<\/a> back to the Royals.<\/p>\n The change of scenery has led to a downturn in Devanney\u2019s offense, as his .256\/.327\/.361 slash line over 147 plate appearances with Indianapolis is well below the .272\/.366\/.565 slash he had with Triple-A Omaha this season prior to the trade.\u00a0 While Devanney hasn\u2019t exactly kicked down the door and forced a promotion, the Pirates may soon have a vacancy in the infield if Isiah Kiner-Falefa<\/a> is claimed off outright waivers<\/a>.\u00a0 Rival teams will have to acquire IKF before September 1 to include him on a postseason roster, so Devanney\u2019s call-up could be a hint that Pittsburgh is expecting a claim soon.<\/p>\n Devanney could perhaps replicate Kiner-Falefa in terms of versatility.\u00a0 Devanney has played mostly shortstop during his career but has a lot of experience at second and third base, plus a handful of appearances as a first baseman and left fielder.\u00a0 This season\u2019s numbers in Omaha were the high point of a generally productive run in Triple-A for the infielder, who has slashed .264\/.349\/.469 with 53 homers over 1404 with the top affiliates of the Pirates, Royals, and Brewers.\u00a0 A 15th-round pick for the Brew Crew in the 2019 draft, Devanney was dealt to the Royals as part of the 2023-24 offseason trade that sent Taylor Clarke<\/a> from K.C. to Milwaukee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2:27PM: The Pirates officially announced Devanney\u2019s promotion, with Simon heading to the 10-day IL.\u00a0 Simon suffered a dislocated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,61622,48,462,61623,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-108535","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-cam-devanney","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-ronny-simon","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
