Sent back to Indianapolis The Pirates optioned Sisk to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Impact Acquired from the Royals at the trade deadline, Sisk initially reported to Indianapolis before the Pirates recalled him last Friday. The team wasted no time putting Sisk to work, as he made relief appearances four of the past five days and was charged with three earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four across 3.1 innings. He'll head back to the minors and give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to Johan Oviedo, who was recalled ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Blue Jays.

Set for Pirates debut The Pirates recalled Sisk from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact Sisk was traded from Kansas City to Pittsburgh on July 31 and was immediately sent to Triple-A. He'll make his Pirates debut if he gets into a game. Sisk posted a 3.77 ERA in 28.2 innings with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate in Omaha, but he surrendered six runs in 5.1 innings so far with Indianapolis.

Sent to Pittsburgh The Pirates acquired Sisk and Callan Moss from the Royals on Thursday in exchange for Bailey Falter, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact Sisk has spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, though he did make his MLB debut for the Royals earlier this year and gave up one earned run with an 11:5 K:BB across 5.1 innings. He'll have a clearer path to the big-league bullpen in Pittsburgh.
JULY 31 • ROTOWIRE
Moved back to Omaha The Royals optioned Sisk to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.
Impact Sisk appeared in three games out of the Royals' bullpen during his MLB stint, allowing one run with a 6:3 K:BB over three innings. Andrew Hoffmann's contract was selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Royals lose pitchers Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo to the 15-day injured list
Kansas City Royals All-Star pitchers Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo were placed on the 15-day injured listMAY 17 • Associated Press
Called up from minors Kansas City recalled Sisk from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
Impact Sisk and Noah Cameron were both summoned from Triple-A in moves corresponding with Seth Lugo (finger) and Cole Ragans (groin) landing on the injured list. Whereas Cameron will enter the Royals' rotation, Sisk will provide bullpen depth for the time being. In two games with Kansas City earlier this season, Sisk allowed two hits and posted a 5:2 K:BB over 2.1 scoreless frames. The left-hander's stay on the big-league roster may be short; fellow reliever Taylor Clarke is currently on the paternity list but should return early next week, and the Royals may need to call up a starter from the minors to fill the second vacated rotation spot.
MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to Triple-A The Royals optioned Sisk to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Impact The left-hander was called up from Omaha on April 13 and made his first two MLB appearances while up with the Royals, striking out five with two hits and two walks across 2.1 scoreless innings. Sisk had a 1.56 ERA in 59 outings for Omaha last season and is likely to receive another look with the Royals at some point this year.

Called up from Triple-A The Royals recalled Sisk from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.
Impact Sisk spent the entire 2024 regular season in Triple-A and logged a 6-2 record with 15 saves, a 1.56 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 57.2 innings. He'd thrown 4.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts and no walks at Triple-A this season before callup. He'll be used in middle relief initially.

Called up from Triple-A The Royals recalled Sisk from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.
Impact Sisk will make his MLB debut if/when he gets into a game with the Royals. Kansas City added the lefty reliever to its 40-man roster over the winter after he submitted a 1.56 ERA and 1.03 WHIP while striking out 81 batters in 57.2 innings with Omaha in 2024. He had gotten off to a nice start with Omaha this season, having yet to allow a run while striking out four over 4.2 innings.

Optioned to Triple-A The Royals optioned Sisk to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
Impact Sisk spent the entire 2024 regular season in Triple-A and across 59 games he logged a 6-2 record with 15 saves, a 1.56 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 57.2 innings. Given his impressive ERA numbers last season, Sisk should make his way to the majors in 2025 when the Royals need to bolster their bullpen with a southpaw.

Under the weather Manager Matt Quatraro said Friday that Sisk is dealing with an illness that has been going around the Royals' clubhouse, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Sisk was originally expected to pitch in the Royals' Cactus League game versus the Rangers on Friday, but his illness kept him out of action. The 27-year-old southpaw was added to the 40-man roster in November after posting a 1.56 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 57.2 innings at Triple-A Omaha, and Kansas City will likely aim to have him make his spring debut once he's feeling better.
FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Added to 40-man roster The Royals selected Sisk's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Impact Sisk had been set to hit minor-league free agency, but the Royals will prevent that from happening by adding him to their 40-man roster. The left-handed reliever put up a 1.57 ERA and 81:26 K:BB over 57.1 innings this season at Omaha. Sisk should have a good shot to debut during the 2025 season.
