PITTSBURGH -- Pitching prospect Quinn Priester is to make his major league debut Monday night for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Saturday that the Pirates plan to call up Priester from Triple-A Indianapolis to face Cleveland. Priester was the Pirates' first-round pick in the 2019 amateur draft.
The 22-year-old right-hander is 7-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 18 starts for Indianapolis this season.
"It's a situation where he's continuing to get better and deserves to get an opportunity at the major league level," Shelton said. "We're going to be excited about that."
