Pirates Put Quinn Priester On 15-Day Injured List
6 months agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-hander Quinn Priester (lat) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 3) on Thursday with a right lat muscle injury and also moved pitcher Ryan Borucki (wrist) to the 60-day injured list. In a corresponding move, left-hander Justin Bruihl was called up from the minors. It remains to be seen if Priester will be able to come off the IL when he's eligible on June 18. Lat injuries can be pretty tricky for pitchers to recover from. The 24-year-old has been up and down in six starts so far in 2024, going 0-5 with a 4.83 ERA (5.70 FIP) and 1.55 WHIP with a 20:10 K:BB in 31 2/3 innings pitched. In his last two starts against the Brewers and Blue Jays, Priester surrendered eight earned runs on 17 hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out eight in 10 2/3 frames. It's unclear who will take his place in the rotation in Pittsburgh.
