Out with cracked nail Feliz was placed on the 10-day injured list with a cracked nail on his right middle finger Friday, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
Impact The issue doesn't seem likely to have any long-term implications for Feliz, but it's bad enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. Sean Poppen was recalled in a corresponding move.

Looks good in first spring outing Feliz (forearm) made his Grapefruit League debut Wednesday, allowing no hits or walks in a scoreless inning against the Yankees.
Impact He threw six of seven pitches for strikes and showed no ill effects from the forearm strain that ended his 2020 campaign prematurely. The power pitcher, armed with a fastball (93.9 mph) and slider mix, has yet to harness his command at the major-league level. The Pirates could give him a shot at closing, but only if options like Richard Rodriguez and Kyle Crick are ineffective or get traded.

Could make spring debut Wednesday Feliz (forearm) is scheduled to pitch in relief during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
Impact Feliz appears poised to pitch in his first game since Aug. 1, when he was removed from a relief appearance against the Cubs due to a forearm strain. The right-hander was able to avoid surgery, instead treating the injury with extended rehab and recovery over the offseason, so he should be good to go for the start of the 2021 campaign. The 27-year-old could factor into the late-inning mix for Pittsburgh to begin the season, but Richard Rodriguez currently looks like the top candidate to save games for the Pirates.

Agrees to deal with Pittsburgh Feliz (forearm) signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Pirates on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Impact The 27-year-old was shut down with a forearm injury in early August after only three appearances, but the Pirates want him back for 2021. Feliz was a solid bullpen piece in 2019 with a 3.99 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 73:27 K:BB across 56.1 innings.

Shifts to 45-day IL The Pirates transferred Feliz (forearm) to the 45-day injured list Monday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Impact According to Berry, the Pirates initially termed Feliz's injury as "right forearm discomfort" when he was moved to the 10-day IL Sunday. Feliz may have undergone some follow-up testing on the injury, however, as he's now being listed with a forearm strain while he shifts to the 45-day IL. The transactions opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Yacksel Rios, whose contract was selected from the Pirates' alternate camp site in a corresponding move. Feliz will likely be sidelined until the second half of September and could be done for the season, depending on the severity of the forearm strain.
