It’s no secret that one of the biggest stories of the first two months of the 2019 Pittsburgh Pirates season has been injuries. One of the areas that has been hit hardest by the injuries is the starting rotation. 20 different Pirate players have spent time on the injured list this season, and this includes four starting pitchers.
The only Pirate starter that has not hit the IL this season is Joe Musgrove. At the moment, both Jameson Taillon and Trevor Williams, the team’s two best starting pitchers, find themselves on the IL.
