Bubba Chandler Ineffective In Latest Start On Wednesday
Bubba Chandler was uncharacteristically ineffective for Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, lasting just 2 2/3 innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five. The performance may temporarily mute the calls for the Pirates to bring him up, but it doesn't change the assertion that he is ready for the big leagues. Even after this rough outing, the righty still owns a strong 2.25 ERA and 0.93 WHIP along with 41 strikeouts in 28 innings pitched. Look for the Pirates' top-ranked prospect (MLB No. 12) to get back on track in his next start and be in the majors by mid-June. The 6-foot-3 hurler remains a top stash candidate in redraft leagues.
