Pirates' Ryan Vogelsong Transferred To 60-Day DL
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Pittsburgh Pirates' Ryan Vogelsong will be out a lot longer than initially expected after an incident that sent him to the hospital last week.
Vogelsong was hit in the head while batting during a game on May 23 and was placed on the 15-day disabled list with facial fractures the next day.
The Pirates announced Saturday that he has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list to make room for right-handed pitcher Curtis Partch, who was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis.

In other roster moves, the Pirates recalled left-handed pitcher Cory Luebke, and optioned right-handed pitcher Wilfredo Boscan and right-handed pitcher Rob Scahill to Indianapolis.
