The Pittsburgh Pirates added a pair of right-handed relievers to their roster for Monday’s doubleheader at the Cincinnati Reds.

Richard Rodriguez was added as the 26th man, while Alex McRae’s contract also was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis.

To make room for McRae on the 40-man roster, the Pirates moved outfielder Corey Dickerson from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL. Dickerson is on a rehabilitation assignment in Indianapolis.
