ST. LOUIS -- Colin Moran's got a concussion, Keone Kela still can't throw a baseball, and the Pirates reacted accordingly Thursday before the doubleheader with the Cardinals.
The team placed Moran on the seven-day concussion Injury List, retroactive to Sunday, when he was injured in a collision at first base at PNC Park, and it placed Kela on the 10-day IL due to right forearm tightness. To replace them, first baseman Will Craig and reliever Nick Mears were added from their three-man traveling taxi squad.
There's been some conflicting word about Kela's status, as Derek Shelton had declared him 'available' to pitch Tuesday in Chicago, before Todd Tomczyk, the team's director of sports medicine, told reporters Wednesday that Kela hadn't yet gripped a ball since getting hurt again last Friday.
