While his second lat injury of the season was not considered as serious as the first, there isn’t enough time for Steven Brault to return in 2021, and the Pirates placed the left-hander on the 60-day injured list.
In a corresponding move, the club claimed right-hander Enyel De Los Santos off waivers from the Phillies.
Brault suffered the injury in his last start Friday and was pulled after just two innings with what the club called a recurrent left lat strain. His first lat injury occurred in spring training and sidelined him for most of the season.
