Quirky baseball plays a continual challenge, point of emphasis for Derek Shelton and young PiratesThe Pirates have encountered their fair share of odd plays. Here’s one way manager Derek Shelton’s team handles them.
Trevor Kelley - Back in big leaguesKelley was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
ImpactKelley will return to the majors after he was sent down Tuesday, replacing Adrian Houser (elbow) on the active roster after he was placed on the 15-day injured list. The reliever has produced an unimpressive 6.88 ERA and 1.29 ERA with 16 strikeouts over 17 innings in 14 appearances with the Brewers this season.

David Bednar - Struggles in returnBednar (back) allowed three earned runs on four hits and a walk across 0.2 innings Thursday against the Brewers.
ImpactBednar pitched for the first time since June 25 and was immediately inserted back into the ninth-inning role with a four-run lead. However, things didn't go according to plan from there, and he was pulled before he could record the final out of the game. It remains to be seen whether the poor performance was caused primarily by rust, or it's an indication that he's still not at full health. If Bednar becomes unavailable for an extended amount of time, Yerry De Los Santos appears to be the next man up for saves.
