On July 17, when beloved racing pierogi and local icon Sauerkraut Saul went down with a gruesome calf strain, it looked like all was lost.
Per the Pirates, Sauerkraut Saul left today's race with a lower body injury. He's day-to-day.

He was placed on the 10-day IL the next day.
It marked a new low point for Saul, who hadn’t won a single race in 2022 and none so far in 2023.
He needed a crutch to get around, but he didn’t give up.
