The Pirates will start imposing inning limits in September to ensure no starter has more than 20 percent increase in innings thrown.
The two pitchers likely to be affected the most are Zach Duke (projected 230 innings, limit 222 innings) and Ross Ohlendorf (projected 188, limit 157). This is good news for Phil Dumatrait, Eric Hacker and Daniel McCutchen. Source: MLBlogs.com |
