Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jason Grilli was activated off the bereavement list before Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Grilli, who was placed on the bereavement list on Sunday, is 1-1 with a 2.25 earned run average in 17 relief appearances this season.

The 35-year-old right-hander is in his second season with the Pirates after missing all of the 2010 campaign recovering from right knee surgery and last year was 2-1 with a 2.48 ERA in 28 games.

To make room on the roster, Pittsburgh optioned lefty Jeff Locke to Triple-A Indianapolis.
