Pirates are calling up catcher Shawn Ross to their taxi squad — a strategic move to have a familiar face ready to step in if needed, even without a guaranteed MLB spot. Though not on the 40-man roster, Ross brings valuable insider knowledge of the pitching staff, having caught them in spring training and at Triple-A. His stats aren’t flashy — .181 batting average, .577 OPS — but he’s shown power at Double-A, hitting seven homers in 22 games. With no immediate catcher injuries (Henry Davis is active, Rafael Flores Jr.’s status remains unclear), Ross’s real value lies in his preparedness and familiarity, making him a smart, low-risk addition for the team’s current needs.
