Dauri Moreta Hits 60-Day Injured List
According to Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pirates right-handed pitcher Dauri Moreta (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list. This transaction opened a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Tommy Pham. Moreta underwent Tommy John surgery in March 2024 and is still expected to miss time in the 2025 season. Given that he underwent the operation early in the 2024 campaign, Moreta could have a path to being available for most of the second half of the season. During the 2023 season, the 28-year-old held a 3.72 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP across 58 innings. He tallied an impressive 79 punchouts but showed weak command of his pitches as he held a 10.0 percent walk rate. However, he did generate a strong 3.02 xERA, which suggests he should face some positive regression when he returns to the mound. When he does return to action, he could earn a high-leverage role in the bullpen.
