Steven Brault To Make Another Rehab Start
Steven Brault (lat) will throw another bullpen session in the next few days and will receive another minor league rehab start. Brault has given up a run through 4 2/3 innings over two rehab starts for Low-A Bradenton and Triple-A Indianapolis, but the Pirates are bringing him along slowly and stretching him out before the consider having him rejoin the major league rotation. The 29-year-old southpaw has been out all season with a lat strain, so it makes sense why the Bucs are slow-playing his return. Brault isn't a high-strikeout pitcher with a career strikeout rate of 19.1 percent in five big league seasons, but he induces a lot of weak contact and could be a successful streaming option in deeper leagues after he posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 38/22 K/BB in 42 2/3 innings and 10 starts in 2020.
