The Pittsburgh Pirates called up minor league home run leader Andrew Lambo to the active roster on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Lambo, who has 31 homers on the year, is hitting .284 in 117 games for Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis.
The left-handed hitting Lambo was acquired along with James MacDonald from the Dodgers for Octavio Dotel prior to the 2010 trade deadline.
