Steven Brault To Make Another Rehab Start
3 years agoPittsburgh Pirates left-hander Steven Brault (lat) will throw another bullpen session in the next few days and will receive another minor league rehab start. Brault has given up a run through 4 2/3 innings over two rehab starts for Low-A Bradenton and Triple-A Indianapolis, but the Pirates are bringing him along slowly and stretching him out before the consider having him rejoin the major league rotation. The 29-year-old southpaw has been out all season with a lat strain, so it makes sense why the Bucs are slow-playing his return. Brault isn't a high-strikeout pitcher with a career strikeout rate of 19.1 percent in five big league seasons, but he induces a lot of weak contact and could be a successful streaming option in deeper leagues after he posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 38/22 K/BB in 42 2/3 innings and 10 starts in 2020.
