The Pittsburgh Pirates are in an "emergency" situation. NBC Sports reported on Tuesday (Korea time) that Pittsburgh right-hander Jarrod Jones (24) will miss the next game as he feels uncomfortable with his elbow.

Jones, who made his big league debut last season, started 22 games and recorded 6-8 record with an ERA of 4.14. Although he did not receive much attention due to his teammate Paul Skins (11-3, 1.96 ERA), who also became rookie of the year in the National League, he was responsible for 121 and two-thirds innings, the fifth-largest number in his team. He was expected to win a spot in the rotation again this year, but his elbow pain caused him to be completely suspended.
Jones started four exhibition games this season and had a 2.25 ERA. Expectations for the opening game, however, did not last long. After allowing three hits and one run in 4 1/3 innings against Minnesota Twins on Saturday, a question mark was drawn on his next pitching schedule. Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton said cautiously, "We will have to wait and see what will happen when the season begins."

먹튀검증 MLB.COM, the official website of the Major League Baseball (MLB), added, "Jones has completed the medical imaging and is waiting for a second finding." Todd Tomzik, senior director of sports medicine at the Pittsburgh club, said, "It's kind of on hold, that is, on standby, until further reading results are available."
