Hunter Stratton's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Hunter Stratton (knee) underwent surgery on Monday to fix a patellar tendon rupture in his left knee and is expected to be out for seven to 10 months. Stratton's 2024 season is over after he suffered the serious knee injury over the weekend. Depending on how his rehab goes this offseason, the 27-year-old's availability for the start of the 2025 campaign will be in question. The former 16th-round pick in 2017 out of Walters State Community College appeared in eight games out of the bullpen in his rookie season in 2023 before throwing 37 2/3 relief frames for the Pirates in 2024, sporting a 3.58 ERA (3.25 FIP), his first career save, a 1.17 WHIP and a 33:7 K:BB. Like this year, Stratton won't be on the fantasy radar at all.

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-hander Hunter Stratton (knee) on the 60-day injured list on Sunday with a rupture of his left patella tendon and selected the contract of left-hander Brady Feigl from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Stratton suffered the devastating knee injury during his outing on Saturday against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds and will now miss the rest of the 2024 season. There's a good chance the 27-year-old will need surgery as well. The former 16th-round pick in 2017 out of Walters State Community College went 2-1 this year with a 3.58 ERA (3.25 FIP), a 1.17 WHIP, his first career save and a 33:7 K:BB in 37 2/3 relief innings. Feigl will be making his major-league debut for the Pirates whenever he gets into a game out of Pittsburgh's bullpen.
