The Pirates recalled Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday. Sanders joined the Pirates' taxi squad ahead of Wednesday's contest, and he'll now grab a spot on the active roster to make up for the loss of Chris Devenski (illness). Sanders will likely be limited to low-leverage work after allowing four runs in three MLB innings this year and logging a 5.19 ERA and 2.44 WHIP at Indianapolis.

Cam Sanders: Breaking News
Joining Pittsburgh's taxi squad
Sanders is with the Pirates' taxi squad in Arizona prior to Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. It's not clear what the Pirates' plans are for Sanders, but the 29-year-old right-hander could be deployed out of bullpen at some point during the team's road trip. He's spent the majority of the season in Triple-A but has appeared in three major-league games, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across three innings.
Optioned to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Sanders to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Braxton Ashcraft (personal), who will start Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals. Sanders' most recent stint with the Pirates resulted in a pair of scoreless appearances.
