Roansy Contreras expected to make MLB debut Wednesday at PNC ParkRoansy Contreras, the Pirates’ second-best pitching prospect, is expected to make his MLB debut Wednesday against the Cubs at PNC Park.
Roansy Contreras - Recall imminent?The Pirates may recall Contreras to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs, according to Hector Gomez.
ImpactThe team has not made an announcement regarding Contreras, so we'll have to wait for the move to become official. If the right-hander is recalled, then he has a decent matchup at home against the Cubs. One of the team's top pitching prospects, Contreras has compiled a 2.64 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 58 innings split between Double-A and Triple-A in 2021. He also features an impressive 82:13 K:BB. Contreras missed time this summer with a forearm muscle strain and will likely be on a short leash, if he does make his MLB debut Wednesday.
