The Pirates recalled Jefferies from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferies will serve as Pittsburgh's 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader in Detroit. The righty was acquired from the Giants earlier this month and has allowed six runs with a 4:4 K:BB over six innings covering two starts with Indianapolis since the trade. Jefferies will give the Pirates bullpen some length during the doubleheader.
