Outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia, left-hander Hunter Barco and righty Noah Murdock have been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, while infielder\/outfielder Tyler Callihan, left-hander Brandon Eisert and right-hander Isaac Mattson got optioned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garcia appeared in 13 games for the Pirates earlier this season and hit .200 with a double and two RBI. In 58 games with Indianapolis this season, the 23-year-old carries a .270\/.340\/.422 batting line with 11 doubles, seven home runs, 29 RBI and five stolen bases. In 20 games this month, Garcia hit .362 with a .979 OPS and 11 RBI. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barco combined for five appearances between a couple different stints with Pittsburgh this season and is 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA.

He had gone hitless in his last 16 at-bats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eister, acquired from the White Sox earlier this month, is 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA in seven appearances to begin his Pirates\u2019 career. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mattson has been optioned for the second time this season.
