NEWS AND RUMORS

Follow along throughout the day as we provide updates and commentary on the daily Pirates news, along with links to stories around Pittsburgh Baseball Network.

Luis Oviedo was placed on the injured list and Kyle Keller returned. I have no idea why this is a thing. I highly doubt that he’s injured and the Pirates have seen enough of Keller, but I’m just reporting what is happening. Somehow the Pirates only found 29.2 innings for a pitcher with upside despite the fact that he was healthy all year and the team had zero chance to compete this season. Yes, I know he was on the injured list before, but we all know how the Rule 5 draft requirements work.
