The Pittsburgh Pirates added Chris Truby and Gene Lamont to skipper Don Kelly’s coaching staff on Friday.
The staff has been in flux since the team fired manager Derek Shelton on May 8, just over one month into his sixth season with the team.
Truby, 51, will serve as a coach on Pittsburgh’s staff and work with the team’s infielders. He began the season as the manager at Triple-A Indianapolis while also serving as the organization’s minor league infield coordinator.
Lamont, 78, will serve as a special advisor to manager Don Kelly while starting his third stint with the Pirates. He served as a coach with the club from 1986-91 and was Pittsburgh’s manager from 1997-2000.
The Pirates last qualified for the postseason in 2015 as a wild-card team and was last in the National League Division Series in 2013.
