The Pirates have recalled outfielder Gregory Polanco from his rehab assignment and have reinstated him from the 10-day injured list.
Polanco had been on the injured list since the start of the season while recovering from left shoulder surgery (9/12). He went 6-for-20 (.300) with five RBI and two stolen bases in five rehab games with Triple-A Indianapolis after going 2-for-13 with four walks and an RBI in four rehab games with High-A Bradenton. Polanco injured his shoulder and left knee while sliding into second base last year on 9/12 at PNC Park.
To make room on the active roster for Polanco, LHP Steven Brault has been optioned to Indianapolis.
