Headed to Indianapolis The Pirates will option Stratton to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact After rupturing the patella tendon in his left knee in August, Stratton spent most of camp finishing up his rehab. He managed to pitch in a Grapefruit League game Saturday, during which he threw a scoreless inning, but he'll begin the season in Triple-A as he continues ramping up. Once the Pirates deem the right-hander ready for big-league action, he'll be a candidate to pitch in high-leverage situations.

Added to 40-man roster The Pirates selected Stratton's (knee) contract Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stratton ruptured his patella tendon in his left knee in late August, but he has ramped up this spring. He ultimately made his spring training debut Saturday, when he threw a scoreless inning while striking out two. Stratton could occupy a high-leverage role after maintaining a 3.58 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with a 33:7 K:BB across 37.2 innings in 2024.

Throwing simulated game Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said that Stratton (knee) will throw a simulated game Wednesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Stratton is coming back from a ruptured patella tendon in his left knee he suffered last August. He's been throwing off a mound for a while and began a running progression last month.

Starting running progression Stratton (knee) is slated to begin a running progression, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Stratton is already throwing off a mound as he returns from a ruptured patella tendon in his left knee he suffered last August, but he'll now test the knee out with some running and soon with pitchers' fielding practice. The reliever has not been ruled out for Opening Day, but he's in camp as a non-roster invitee so he's facing an uphill battle to win a roster spot.

He ruptured his patella tendon in late August but appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery.

Non-tendered by Pirates The Pirates non-tendered Stratton (knee) on Friday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Stratton's 2024 season was cut short by a ruptured patella tendon in late August, and he's likely to miss the first couple months of the 2025 campaign while recovering from surgery. Despite his injury, the 28-year-old's 3.26 ERA over 49.2 career innings should still be enough to attract interest in free agency from bullpen-needy teams.
