The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed right-handed pitcher Hunter Stratton on the 60-day injured list, after the reliever ruptured his patella tendon on Saturday night. This will end the 2024 season for Stratton, who had a 3.58 ERA in 37.2 innings, with a 33:7 K/BB.
Stratton had one of the best pitches on the team, with his slider generating a 43.5% whiff rate and a +6 run value. He should be a candidate for the bullpen in 2025, assuming he’s healthy by the time Spring Training rolls around.
The Pirates purchased the contract of LHP Brady Feigl from Triple-A.
