One of the Pittsburgh Pirates more noteworthy minor league relief pitchers is Yerry De Los Santos. The right-hander is ranked as the team’s 55th best prospect per FanGraphs. However, he’s also Rule 5 draft eligible this off-season. So is there enough of a case for him to be added to the 40-man roster?
De Los Santos started the year at Double-A Altoona. However, he’s been limited to just 17.2 innings due to a forearm strain. Though when he has pitched, he’s been solid. He’s only allowed just 4 earned runs while having a healthy 26.
