Jordan Lyles Placed on Injured List with Left Hamstring Tightness

Published:

Prior to Monday night’s game in Atlanta, the Pittsburgh Pirates placed starting pitcher Jordan Lyles on the 10-day injured list with left hamstring tightness. To take his place on the active roster, the Pirates recalled right-handed pitcher Montana DuRapau.

Lyles pitched Saturday in Milwaukee and allowed three runs on five hits and four walks in three innings. He was already at 92 pitches, so it didn’t raise any red flags that he was removed after just three innings. He had hamstring tightness during his start on May 28th, when he left after four innings. In between those two starts, he was able to pitch six innings back on June 2nd.

DuRapau made seven appearances for the Pirates last month, posting a 7.27 ERA in 8.2 innings, with a 1.73 WHIP, a .316 BAA and 11 strikeouts. Since being sent down on May 27th, he has made three appearances for Indianapolis, allowing two runs over four innings. He last pitched on June 5th, so he’s available for multiple innings tonight if the need should arise.

John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects.
