ST. LOUIS (AP) -The Pittsburgh Pirates purchased the contract of right-handed reliever Marino Salas from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Salas replaced righty John Van Benschoten, demoted to the minors Monday after losing to Atlanta in the second game of a doubleheader. Van Benschoten, a first-round draft pick in 2001, was 0-2 with a 9.39 ERA in four games this season.
Salas was acquired from the Brewers for Salomon Torres in December and is in the majors for the first time. He was 2-0 with two saves and an 0.77 ERA in 14 appearances at Indianapolis.
