Tim Mayza of Pittsburgh Pirates Placed on 60-Day Injured List Due to Lat Muscle Strain

Tim Mayza's absence from the bullpen could affect the Pirates in their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Angels. He has been a reliable option with a 2.89 ERA over 9 1/3 innings this season. His recent form included an ERA of 0.0 over his last three games.

With Mayza out, other relief pitchers like Caleb Ferguson and Justin Lawrence might see increased opportunities. Mayza's WHIP of 1.07 and only one walk this season show his control on the mound. The Pirates will need to adjust their bullpen strategy while he recovers.
