Pirates right-handed pitcher Jared Jones placed on the 15-day injured list
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - One of the Pirates' young arms is headed to the 15-day injured list.
The team announced on Thursday morning that right-handed pitcher Jared Jones has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain.
So far this season, the 22-year-old pitcher has recorded a 5-6 record with an ERA of 3.56, and 98 strikeouts over 16 starts.
In a corresponding move, the Pirates have recalled outfielder Joshua Palacios from Triple-A Indianapolis.
With Indianapolis, Palacios was hitting .311 with five doubles, one home run, and eight RBIs in 21 games. In his last 13 games, he's hit at .362 with four doubles, a home run, and six RBIs.
The Pirates will take on the Cardinals today at 12:35 at PNC Park and they look to take the series following a walk-off, extra innings 5-4 victory on Wednesday night. They finish up their current homestand this weekend in a four-game series against the New York Mets.
