Stallings had his contract purchased from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Stallings was cast off the 40-man roster over the offseason since he was blocked by Francisco Cervelli (concussion), Chris Stewart (hamstring) and Elias Diaz in the catching pecking order, but with Cervelli and Stewart both sidelined with injuries, Stallings will return to the big leagues to provide catching depth. More likely than not, the 27-year-old will play second fiddle to Diaz behind the plate, although Stallings was 6-for-15 in a brief cup of coffee with Pittsburgh last season, so he could pick up his fair share of starts if he hits like that this time around as well.
