Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Cody Ponce left Saturday's contest with right arm soreness. He was only able to pitch 1 2/3 innings before exiting the game. Ponce allowed five runs on six hits and gave up three walks. There are no updates on the severity of the pitcher's potential injury. The 27-year-old has pitched in just three contests this season, producing 11.17 ERA.
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Cody Ponce will draw the start against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. This will be his first appearance with the team this year after posting a 3.15 ERA in a few outings last season. Ponce missed some time early in the season due to a forearm issue. He has only thrown 11 2/3 innings in Triple-A this season. It's unlikely that he pitches deep into Tuesday's game. The Cubs aren't exactly an easy lineup to get through, so there should be better streaming options on Tuesday.
