After an off-day yesterday, the Pirates (4-4-2) are home on Tuesday afternoon to take on the Boston Red Sox. Mitch Keller will be on the mound today and the game will be broadcast on AT&T SportsNet, with a 1:05 PM scheduled first pitch. Including today, just eight games remain on the Spring Training schedule before the April 7th season opener.

After Keller, the scheduled relievers are David Bednar, Heath Hembree, Austin Brice, Aaron Fletcher and Chase De Jong in some order.
In case you were wondering why Ke’Bryan Hayes isn’t in the lineup:
Ke’Bryan Hayes sustained a minor right ankle sprain during practice a couple days ago, per #Pirates just now. He'll be held out of game activity for a brief time, doing everything but baserunning.

More injury news
One bit of good injury news for the Pirates: Max Kranick threw his first live of the spring today. Chatted with him about it. He's on a "modified" throwing program but feeling good. Going with a different curveball (spiked) this year, too.
