The Pirates have also recalled infielder Clint Barmes from his injury rehab assignment and have reinstated him from the 15-day disabled list. Barmes has been on the D.L. since 7/6 (retro to 6/30) with a left groin strain.

To make room on the 40-man roster for Tabata, infielder Jayson Nix has been designated for assignment.
