Vince Velasquez Activated From The IL, Will Start Saturday
1 year agoPittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Vince Velasquez (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. The 30-year-old hurler missed three weeks with right elbow inflammation but he's ready to go for Saturday's tilt in Seattle. Velasquez had quietly put together a great first season with the Pirates, recording a 3.06 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 34:13 K/BB ratio over 35 1/3 innings (seven starts). He should be up for streaming consideration against the Mariners' struggling offense
