Pittsburgh Pirates Minors: Tom Koehler Returns To Action
A rehabbing veteran pitcher returned to action in the minor leagues for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night
This offseason the Pittsburgh Pirates signed veteran right-handed pitcher Tom Koehler to a minor league contract. Koehler, who has pitched for the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, had not pitched since 2017. However, his long road back now has a light at the end of the tunnel.
On Tuesday nigth, Koehler pitched in a game for the first time since September 29th, 2017, when he took to the hill for the Gulf Coast League Pirates. For Koehler, just to toe that rubber again had to be a great feeling. It undoubtedly had to be a relief as well.
