Expected to begin spring training Stratton (knee) is expected to be ready to pitch at the start of spring training, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Stratton posted a video of him throwing off of a mound Thursday, around a month before pitchers report to spring training. He ruptured his patella tendon in late August but appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery. Though Stratton will be in camp on a minor-league deal, he was effective in 2024 and should contribute out of the bullpen again in 2025.

Impact Stratton was with the Pirates in 2024 and threw 37.2 innings out of the bullpen while maintaining a 3.58 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. His recovery from knee surgery could spill over into the regular season, but he's likely to contribute as a reliever for the big-league club at some point in 2025.

Non-tendered by Pirates The Pirates non-tendered Stratton (knee) on Friday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Stratton's 2024 season was cut short by a ruptured patella tendon in late August, and he's likely to miss the first couple months of the 2025 campaign while recovering from surgery. Despite his injury, the 28-year-old's 3.26 ERA over 49.2 career innings should still be enough to attract interest in free agency from bullpen-needy teams.

Impact Pittsburgh quickly moved Stratton off its 40-man roster after the reliever ruptured his left patella tendon during his appearance in Saturday's 10-2 loss to the Reds. Given the timing of his move to the 60-day IL, Stratton will miss the rest of the season, but the Pirates haven't indicated whether or not he'll require surgery. Pittsburgh selected lefty reliever Brady Feigl's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace Stratton on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster.
