Keone Kela Hasn't Worked Out With Pirates
4 years agoPittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Keone Kela has yet to work out on the field with the Pirates during summer camp. Manager Derek Shelton didn't provide an explanation as to why, which means there's a good chance it's COVID-19-related. Kela might not have tested positive, but he might've come in contact with someone who did. There's also the chance he's waiting for his test results. Such is life amid the coronavirus pandemic. The 27-year-old right-hander is expected to be the team's closer this year, but it's a little unsettling that he hasn't been with the team yet. Already more of a low-end closing option for fantasy owners, Kela might lose even more luster unless he shows up soon.
