The Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to promote top pitching prospect Mitch Keller to start this coming Wednesday. The team had him up a few weeks ago, and after a shaky start, he settled down and pitched rather well.
Upon his return to Triple-A, Keller has pitched very well. In his first start he went six innings and gave up two runs, then in his most recent start he threw five innings and struck out 13 batters. This time when Keller comes up he needs to stay up. Rookie Davis should be slotted back into the bullpen and not have to make another start when being activated from the injured list.
