Sisk Out, Stratton In for Pirates | MLB News

Pirates bullpen hit a snag as Evan Sisk goes on the injured list with elbow inflammation, retroactive to July 1st—meaning he’s sidelined for at least 15 days. The team’s called up Hunter Stratton from Triple-A to fill the void. Sisk had been a standout reliever this season, boasting a strong ERA, elite strikeout rates, and advanced metrics that suggested he was even better than his stats showed. His injury is a blow, especially as the trade deadline looms and the Pirates were actively seeking bullpen reinforcements. Stratton, who’s seen time with the big club before, now gets a crucial opportunity to step up and help stabilize a bullpen that’s been a concern all season.
