Pirates Move Yates, Bring Up Curtis | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates make a pitching shakeup: Kirby Yates goes on the IL with a shoulder impingement, retroactive to August 31, sidelining him for at least 15 days. To fill his spot, they’ve called up 24-year-old prospect Khristian Curtis, who’s already shown elite potential—eight scoreless innings, stellar K/BB ratio, and is one of only four Pirates relievers in modern history to start their MLB career this way. Curtis, ranked 15th in the system by MLB Pipeline, was previously dominating in Triple-A with a 5.18 ERA. Meanwhile, Wilber Dotel joins the big league roster while Evan Sisk heads back down to Indianapolis. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
