Pirates' Rookie Pitcher Jared Jones Placed on 15-Day Injured List

Jones sidelined with right lat strain; team recalls outfielder Josh Palacios from Triple-A

Jared Jones exited his start against the Cardinals after five innings due to discomfort.
The Pirates are managing Jones' workload carefully, having already skipped a start for him this season.
Jones has posted a 3.56 ERA with 98 strikeouts in 91 innings across 16 starts.
The team is yet to announce a replacement for Jones in the rotation.
Pittsburgh remains competitive, just three games out of the final NL playoff spot.
