Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Dillon Peters will not be able to help continue increasing positive momentum for the Bucs during the next two weeks.
The left-handed reliever has been placed on the 15-day injured list, according to the Pirates MLB transaction page. DK Pittsburgh Sports beat writer Alex Stumpf is reporting that Peters is dealing with back muscle spasms.
The Pirates have yet to announce the move and a corresponding transaction. Peters’ placement on the IL is retroactive to June 3.
He will not be eligible to return to the bullpen until the Bucs return home to face the San Francisco Giants next weekend.
