GARY, Ind. — The Gary SouthShore RailCats announced the re-signing of right-handed pitcher Carlos Pinales on Wednesday afternoon and have placed catcher Jeff Sneed on waivers.

Prior to getting waived on June 23rd, Pinales had one save and a 4.26 ERA. Pinales began his career with Gary in 2016, finishing 0-3 with a 9.48 ERA in five games (two starts).

Sneed signed his first pro contract with Gary on June 30th and recorded a single in his first professional at-bat on June 29th in Canada vs. the Winnipeg Goldeyes. In two games (one start), Sneed went 1-for-5 with a run.

Gary continues their seven-game homestand on Wednesday night at 7:10 p.m. vs. Fargo-Moorhead. Two-time All-Star Rosario (5-3, 3.26) counters against RedHawks right-hander Jose Almarante (2-3, 5.03) in the rubber game of the series.
