FIrst Kershaw and now Taillon my fantasy league rotation is imploding slowly… and that’s the worst kind of implosion

Pick up 2 start pitchers until they get back that’s what I do all season long

I had Taillon too. I picked up Tyler Anderson (Colorado LHP). He’s been good.

This could be very much like Mark wrote. Very much a precautionary move as in a way to limit innings and ensure he is around late in the season. Could very well be the normal soreness that pitchers go through but they pitch through it. He gets extra time off going into the break and Brault gets a cup of coffee for the experience.
Cam
Phantom DL to keep him fresh and avoid shutdown questions later in the season.

And the parade of Pirate pitching prospects continues. Taillon, Kuhl, Brault, Glasnow, and there are more to follow. If I were Liriano and Locke I wouldn’t be buying a house in Pittsburgh anytime soon.

Pirates Prospects has a source that has already stated that Taillon’s DL assignment was meant to limit his innings. PP has contact with sources in the pirates organization, and would not publish speculation and hearsay.
Brault’s FB velocity exceeds that found in the prospect handbooks. It now varies between 89-94 mph. He could become the Locke or Niese replacement if he performs well.

Would be Neise if either of them as Locke has been pitching fairly well since Colorado

3 injures already for him. I hope he’s not mr glass. man, the bucs can’t catch a break lately with health…
Robertowannabe
Harvey, They are giving him a rest as he has not pitched in 2 years. This will allow longer time for the end of the year……….Trying to prevent an injury…….It will be ok !
HarveyD82
hope so. I’m seeing a Cole, Taillon, Khul, Glasnow/Brault/, Locke rotation next year. maybe. but the team has played much better recently especially the bullpen
Robertowannabe
Starters actually have been getting some innings in. Not great yet but at least they are not killing the pen every game. Allowing some rest and the results are there. Caminero has been much better since he has come off the DL and Nicassio in the pen now are really helping..
