  JT Brubaker Making Final Start Tuesday

  Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander JT Brubaker (arm) has been activated from the 15-day injured list and is making his final start of the 2022 season on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Fantasy managers still playing for a championship in the final two days of the regular season will want to avoid Brubaker as a streamer, though, since he'll be on a pitch count after ramping up over the last several weeks. The 28-year-old is 3-12 on the year and has a 4.58 ERA (3.94 FIP), a 1.46 WHIP, 145 strikeouts and 53 walks in 141 1/3 innings over his 27 starts for the Bucs in his third major-league season. In his last start against the New York Mets on Sept. 15, Brubaker allowed five earned runs on seven hits in just three innings.

  JT Brubaker Lands On The 15-Day Injured List

  Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (lat) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right lat discomfort. The 28-year-old righty left his start on Thursday early with the issue and he landed on the IL three days later. Pitcher Luis Ortiz was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Brubaker has a chance to come back for another start before the season ends but if he's unable to return, he'll finish the year with a 3-12 record, 4.58 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 145 strikeouts over 141 1/3 innings.

  JT Brubaker Removed With Lat Discomfort

  Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker threw just three innings during Thursday's start before getting removed with lat discomfort. The right-hander wasn't very sharp in the outing by giving up five runs on seven hits and two walks, but he was able to strike out five batters on the night. The team has yet to provide any further information of his injury, but with their season going nowhere, there was no need to push him any further. There's a good chance Brubaker misses his next scheduled start the Yankees next week, but look for the club to update his status within the next 24 hours.

  JT Brubaker Cleared To Start On Tuesday

  Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (finger) has been cleared to make his start against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. He was lifted during Thursday's outing due to a blister on his pitching hand. It sounds like the Pirates caught the injury early and avoided a long term problem. He'll carry a 4.19 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 23 starts into his outing against Atlanta. There is some low-end streaming appeal here for deep league managers.

  JT Brubaker Shuts Down Red Sox

  Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (finger) was superb on Thursday, tossing seven shutout frames to help his club defeat the Red Sox 8-2. He allowed just two hits on the evening while striking out seven and walking no one, but he was pulled at 84 pitches after a small blister developed on his finger in the sixth. Manager Derek Shelton said Brubaker was lifted from the game to prevent it from getting any worse, so his status should be monitored in the next few days to see if he'll make his next start versus the Braves. Although Thursday's effort was sharp, Brubaker hasn't been consistent enough for fantasy purposes in any role other than as a deep-league streamer.
