The Pirates finish the series this afternoon against Colorado at 3:10. Chris Archer pitches for the Bucs.
The Pirates placed infielder Sean Rodriguez on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with strained left abdomen. The move makes room for infielder Adeiny Hechavarria. The Pirates acquired Hechavarria from the Texas Rangers on Monday.
Rodriguez, 33, is hitting .163 this season. He also was put on the disabled list June 27 with a right quadriceps strain.
Also, the Pirates added to their Triple-A depth when they acquired left-handed pitcher Buddy Boshers off waivers from the Houston Astros.
