JT Brubaker Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (lat) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right lat discomfort. The 28-year-old righty left his start on Thursday early with the issue and he landed on the IL three days later. Pitcher Luis Ortiz was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Brubaker has a chance to come back for another start before the season ends but if he's unable to return, he'll finish the year with a 3-12 record, 4.58 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 145 strikeouts over 141 1/3 innings.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker threw just three innings during Thursday's start before getting removed with lat discomfort. The right-hander wasn't very sharp in the outing by giving up five runs on seven hits and two walks, but he was able to strike out five batters on the night. The team has yet to provide any further information of his injury, but with their season going nowhere, there was no need to push him any further. There's a good chance Brubaker misses his next scheduled start the Yankees next week, but look for the club to update his status within the next 24 hours.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (finger) has been cleared to make his start against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. He was lifted during Thursday's outing due to a blister on his pitching hand. It sounds like the Pirates caught the injury early and avoided a long term problem. He'll carry a 4.19 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 23 starts into his outing against Atlanta. There is some low-end streaming appeal here for deep league managers.
