Shortly before wrapping up a two-game series with the Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates Director of Sports Medicine Todd Tomczyk delivered his first injury update for 2024.
The biggest takeaways from it deal with catcher Jason Delay and reliever Ryan Borucki.
Delay was placed on April 2 with right knee soreness and it could be a while before he returns to action. Tomczyk said he is still experiencing issues with his knee and has been shut down from all baseball-related activities while they examine the severity of his injury. He was the team’s primary backup catcher before the injury flared up.
