Keone Kela has been suspended for two games by the Pirates, the team announced Monday night.
The Pirates gave no reason for the suspension beyond stating in a press release he was “in violation of his Uniform Player’s Contract.”
Kela has been on the injured list since May 6 with right shoulder inflammation. He pitched in three games with Class AAA Indianapolis on a rehab assignment and was expected to be activated from the IL prior to Monday night’s game with the Cardinals in the opener of a four-game series at PNC Park.
