Added to big-league bullpen The Pirates recalled Curtis from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

Impact Curtis is unscored upon over eight innings covering two relief outings this season for the Pirates, and he's collected a 4.90 ERA and 108:48 K:BB in 86.1 innings between Double-A Altoona and Indianapolis. The 24-year-old is stretched out to provide length in the Pittsburgh bullpen, if needed.

Relegated to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Curtis to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Curtis threw three shutout innings out of the bullpen during Sunday's contest to remain unscored upon through eight frames to begin his MLB career. Despite his success, he'll move back to the minors to make room for a fresh bullpen arm in the form of Noah Murdock.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues The Pirates recalled Curtis from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact Curtis will join the big club for the second time this season and will provide the Pirates with a right-hander relief option who's capable of covering multiple innings. In his lone appearance during his previous stint with the Pirates back in July, Curtis struck out four batters over five scoreless innings of long relief.

AUGUST 23 • SI.COM

Removed from 7-day IL Curtis (side) was reinstated from Triple-A Indianapolis' 7-day injured list Wednesday, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Impact Curtis has been sidelined by side discomfort since July 25, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return to Triple-A. He made his major-league debut with the Pirates on July 18, when he operated in a bulk-relief role against the Guardians and allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings. Curtis has a 5.84 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 24.2 innings in the minors this season but could see some major-league action over the final weeks of the regular season.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Deactivated at Triple-A Triple-A Indianapolis placed Curtis on its 7-day injured list Saturday due to an unspecified injury, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Impact Curtis presumably sustained the injury during his 3.2-inning relief appearance with Indianapolis on Friday. The right-hander had just been optioned to Triple-A last weekend after he made his MLB debut with the Pirates shortly after the All-Star break.

Heads back to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Curtis to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Impact The right-hander received his first promotion to the big leagues Saturday and made his MLB debut in Game 2 of the doubleheader in Cleveland with five scoreless innings of bulk relief. Curtis should have a better chance of returning to the majors later this summer now that he's on the 40-man roster, though his 4.96 ERA in 18 appearances between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year could be a limiting factor, even with his strong performance Saturday.

JULY 19 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Works as bulk reliever in nightcap Curtis didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, allowing two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings of relief. H...

Impact The Pirates elected to use Mason Montgomery as an opener for the nightcap before handing the ball to Curtis as the bulk reliever for his big-league debut, and the 24-year-old right-hander turned in an impressive performance. Curtis tossed 42 of 68 pitches for strikes and left the mound with Pittsburgh ahead 3-0, only to see the bullpen melt down late and cost him the win. He's struggled somewhat in the minors this season, managing a 4.96 ERA across 74.1 innings between Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis, but his 97:40 K:BB highlights his potential if he can sort out his control issues. Now that he's on the 40-man roster and has shown he can get big-league hitters out, he could be on the short list to join the rotation if Pittsburgh has a vacancy.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected The Pirates selected Curtis' contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Curtis will join the major-league roster to give Pittsburgh some extra pitching depth for Saturday's twin bill against the Guardians. The 24-year-old righty has turned in a 5.57 ERA and 1.67 WHIP across 21 innings since being promoted to Triple-A in June and will presumably fill a multi-inning role out of the bullpen to begin his MLB career. Oneil Cruz (hand) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted to Triple-A Curtis was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Anthony Murphy of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Curtis will make the leap to the Triple-A level after posting a 4.73 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 67 strikeouts over 53.1 innings in 12 starts with Double-A Altoona this season. The right-hander is considered to be one of the Pirates' top overall prospects, and he is now just one step away from making his major-league debut.
