Priester, 22, was picked 18th overall in the 2019 draft and had been Pittsburgh’s top pitching prospect until LSU right-hander Paul Skenes was drafted No. 1 overall earlier this month.
In each of the past three years, MLB Pipeline has ranked Priester within its preseason top-100 prospects lists. The right-hander is currently the Pirates‘ No. 4 prospect and No. 54 overall, per Pipeline
In his first full season at Triple-A Indianapolis this year, Priester is 7-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 18 starts. He has struck out 84 batters and walked 35 in 87 2/3 innings.
He was pulled from his start Friday night after pitching one scoreless inning.
The Pirates will need to make further moves to open a spot for Priester on the 40-man roster
