A Rule 5 pick, Nunez has been out all season while recovering from right ankle surgery. "We're just happy to finally get him on the field," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. Nunez must be on the Pirates' active roster for 90 days in order to be kept, though that number can carry over to next season.

Gustavo Nunez - SS - Tigers

Pirates placed SS Gustavo Nunez on the 60-day disabled list with a right ankle injury.

Gustavo Nunez - SS - Tigers

Pirates selected SS Gustavo Nunez from the Tigers in the Rule 5 draft.

Nunez is very good with the glove, but it's a stretch to think he'll ever be of much use with the bat. The 23-year-old batted just .276/.333/.386 with five homers, 26 RBI and 18 steals (while being caught 13 times) between High- and Double-A in 2011. The Bucs will try to keep him around as a utility infielder.
