"Pirates' Vince Velasquez faces another injury setback"

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Vince Velasquez has been re-injured with right elbow discomfort, leaving the team with a question mark over Roansy Contreras. The 23-year-old's fastball velocity is down, and his start was skipped in favor of Velasquez. One potential avenue is for the Pirates to try Contreras in the bullpen, similar to Mitch Keller's route, to save his career. There should be considerable concern surrounding both pitchers, especially Contreras, who has the stuff to be a front-line starter but has been off his typical result pattern.

Vince Velasquez lands on 15-day IL with elbow injury.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed right-hander Vince Velasquez on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort after making just one start since returning from injury. Velasquez had made seven starts of 3.06 ERA ball for the Pirates this season before being removed from the game against the Mariners. The Pirates have recalled right-hander Cody Bolton to replace Velasquez. GM Ben Cherington told 93.7 The Fan radio that the team had planned to shift Roansy Contreras to the bullpen before Velasquez’ injury, but it now seems those plans will be shelved and Contreras will remain in the rotation.
