Pirates: Cervelli out 4-6 weeks, Add Erik Kratz

Bad news for the love doctor. The Pirates announced catcher Francisco Cervelli will be out 4-6 with a broken hand. Saturday morning he underwent successful surgery to repair broken hamate bone in left hand. Cervelli, who has a long injury history, was injured on a swing and miss in fourth inning of last night’s loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

The injury is a huge blow to the now mangled Pirates. Gerrit Cole also left last night’s game in the two inning with right triceps tightness. He had a MRI Saturday morning on his triceps.
