3 years agoPittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Steven Brault (lat) has been activated from the 60-day injured list and will start Wednesday against the Brewers, according to Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Brault has been sidelined for the entirety of the season at this point due to a moderate lat strain he suffered during Spring Training. The 29-year-old left-hander is coming off the best season of his career in 2020, where he went 1-3 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.195 WHIP and 21.3 percent strikeout rate over 42 2/3 innings of work. To make room for him on the active roster, the Pirates optioned Max Kranick to Triple-A, and transferred Chase De Jong from the 10-day injured list to 60-day injured list. Depending on how he looks in this start against the Brewers, he could be a decent streaming option going forward.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
