Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - The Pittsburgh Pirates recalled pitcher

pitcher Jeff Locke to Indianapolis.
Hughes is 2-1 with a 2.70 earned run average in 47 relief appearances for the

Pittsburgh this year.
Qualls, who needs some time off due to an illness in his family, has played
for the Yankees, Phillies and Pirates this season.
Locke had appeared in two games this month.
