A major reason why the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen has struggled to find consistency this season is the injury to Keone Kela. The team’s main setup man, and second best reliever behind Felipe Vazquez, has been on the injured list since May 5th.
Originally, Kela was set to return from the IL on Monday. This, however, did not happen. The reason it has not happened is due Kela receiving a two game suspension from the team.
Kela has been activated off the IL, but he has also been placed on the suspended list.
