Nick Burdi News
Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Nick Burdi is opting to undergo a platelet-rich plasma treatment on his right forearm to avoid having surgery, according to Jason Mackey of Post-Gazette Sports. Even if the procedure goes well, Burdi's 2020 season is still over. Keone Kela (COVID-19) will likely take over the team's closing role once he is activated from the injured list. He is the arm to own in the Pirates' bullpen for fantasy purposes.
Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Nick Burdi has been placed on the 45-day injured list due to a right elbow injury, ending his 2020 campaign just as it was beginning. Having notched his first big league save back on July 28, Burdi was holding down the Pirates closers role for the time being, having showcased a triple-digit fastball. With Burdi joining a group that includes Keone Kela, Kyle Crick, Clay Holmes, and Michael Feliz, on the injured list, Pittsburghs bullpen construction is completely up in the air. Owners will want to keep an eye on how the Bucs roll out their arms over the next few days to get a read on how manager Derek Shelton will manage a bullpen decimated by injuries.
Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Nick Burdi looked dominant in his first outing of the 2020 season on Sunday when he struck out all three hitters he faced, including Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and shortstop Paul DeJong. The 27-year-old hard-throwing right-hander missed all of the 2019 season after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, which can be a very tough injury to come back from successfully. He was impressing earlier this spring as well, so there is a chance that he could eventually be featured in some save situations -- the Pirates were up 5-1 in the ninth when he faced St. Louis -- especially with Keone Kela currently on the injured list. Kyle Crick is at the top of the closer committee right now, with Richard Rodriguez and Michael Feliz also in the most. But Burdi is definitely one to watch in deeper leagues.
