6/17/24 [Last Word on Sports] - Pirates Call Up Former Athletics Pitcher for Big Reds Series. The Pittsburgh Pirates have called up pitcher in time for Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates acquired Jefferies in a May 10 with the San Francisco Giants for minor league outfielder . To make room for Jefferies, the Pirates have optioned pitcher , who they on June 6, to triple-A Indianapolis. It was rumored that Jefferies would be called up to make a start in Colorado last weekend, but manager used bullpen games instead. However, when Jefferies was scratched from Sunday’s start for Indianapolis, it seemed apparent he was going to Pittsburgh. There’s been no word on how he’ll be used. He’ll likely fill an immediate need in the bullpen while also being a candidate to fill the fifth starter’s spot when it comes up in the rotation. Pirates Call Up Daulton Jefferies on Monday Jefferies’ promotion is based more on need and lack of worthy candidates than on merit. In five starts for the triple-A Indianapolis Indians, Jefferies has pitched just 20 2/3 innings. His record there is 1-1 to go with a hideous 6.10 ERA, 1.742 WHIP, and 1.20 strikeout-to-walk ratio. However, with , , and on the injured list, the only healthy options on the Pirates’ 40-man roster are Jefferies and young . Ashcraft was only recently promoted to triple-A and has made just one start there. Other starters at Indy who have major league experience are and . Neither is on the 40-man roster. Adding one of them to the active roster would require somebody to be dropped from the 40-man. With 11 players currently on the IL, that’s not appetizing to the Pirates at this time. When they added to the active roster on Friday, they had to designate recently acquired for assignment before he even had a chance to report to Indianapolis and fill out his Form W-4. They don’t want to drop anybody else. In any event, Germán and Plassmeyer have put up worse numbers than Jefferies. In an organization that thought itself deep in pitching, Jefferies may become the Pirates’ fifth starter by default. Pirates are Desperate for Starters The desperate need for a fifth starter arose when Pérez and Priester went on the IL in rapid succession. The Pirates successfully employed bullpen games, winning against the Minnesota Twins on June 8 and the Rockies on Friday and Saturday. However, those games took their toll on the bullpen. On June 9, with many of his relievers unavailable, Shelton had to leave in the game in the 10th inning, despite Heller giving up seven runs. Heller and his 49.50 ERA have since been designated for assignment. One of the feel-good stories behind the Heller signing was his reunion with hometown pal . Now they’ll have to go back to texting one another. Additionally, the Pirates lost to the Rockies on Saturday, 16-4, as their bullpen got shelled, again because some relievers weren’t available. Nothing went right for the Pirates that day. Ryan McMahon steals home! ????? — MLB (@MLB) Shelton probably wants a fifth starter to settle in as opposed to any further bullpen games. The fifth starter's turn lines up with what would have been Jeffferies’ turn with Indianapolis. Hence, there were many reasons why the Pirates called up Jefferies. A Second Second Chance Meanwhile, the 28-year-old right-hander will welcome the chance to prove himself on the major league level. After being drafted No. 1 by the Oakland Athletics in the 2016 June Amateur Draft, Jefferies had a rough go of it in three seasons with Oakland until his career was derailed by injuries in 2022. He spent part of 2022 and all of 2023 rehabbing from . Although the Giants moved on from Jefferies after two bad outings in 2024, at least he proved he was healthy. Bruihl got plenty of work in his 10 days as a Pirate. He appeared in six games and gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings. Despite being effective in most of his outings, he’s the odd man out in this latest roster shuffle. The Last Word Unfortunately, there’s nothing in Jefferies’ minor or major league record to suggest that he can fill the fifth starter’s spot capably. Then again, nothing matters less than yesterday. It’s a strange year in the National League, with 10 teams packed together tightly in the wild card race. The notion that every game is important was never more meaningful than it is now. How Jefferies performs as a fifth starter, and for how long, may have a lot to say about the race in the end. Main Photo: © Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports The post appeared first on .

3/13/24 Returns from Tommy John surgery may seem routine. Recovery can be full of grief, angst and isolation. Daulton Jefferies is trying to come back from a second Tommy John surgery at age 28. A torn ulnar collateral ligament used to be a career-stopper for pitchers. Now, it is seen as more of a speed bump. But as Jefferies can attest, there are significant lows and loneliness during the long rehab process. The Giants right-hander shed plenty of tears and sought therapy as he considered quitting baseball altogether before giving it another go.

2/28/24 After 'emotional' return from second Tommy John, could Daulton Jefferies be an option for SF Giants' rotation?. When the bullpen door opened prior to the top of the sixth Tuesday at Scottsdale Stadium, it was a meaningful moment for anyone familiar with the pitcher who was about to emerge. Out jogged Daulton Jefferies, making the trek across the outfield grass to the pitcher's mound for the first time in more than 20 months. “Just when he took the mound, for me, that got my attention,” manager Bob Melvin said, reflecting a day later. On May 18, 2022, in his eighth start of the season, Jefferies coaxed Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco to chase a changeup off the plate for strike three and the final out of the fourth inning.
