Brady

Feigl

Feigl will head to Triple-A St. Paul as extra organizational relief depth. The 34-year-old southpaw made one relief appearance last year for the Pirates and posted a respectable 4.05 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 68/15 K/BB ratio across 60 innings (39 appearances) at Triple-A Indianapolis.

The 33-year-old left-hander finally broke through and made his big-league debut earlier this week and gave up six runs on seven hits over 1 2/3 innings of work. He’ll continue to refine his craft at the Triple-A level.

Feigl made his MLB debut after ten years of waiting, and it didn’t go very well with six runs allowed in 1 2/3 innings. The 33-year-old is now on the waiver wire to make room for Jared Jones, as Jones is off the injured list to start Tuesday’s game against the Cubs.

Feigl will have a chance to pitch in the majors for the first times as a 33-year-old, and that’s awesome. The 33-year-old — who is not related to the other Brady Feigl, and the fact there are two pitching Brady Feigl’s can never be discussed too much — takes the roster spot of Hunter Stratton after Stratton was placed on the 60-day injured list with a ruptured patella tendon.

There are two different hurlers named Brady Feigl in baseball, so we made sure we’re writing up the right one. Feigl was acquired from the Braves in the deal that sent Luke Jackson to Atlanta. Signed after being undrafted, he’s posted a 2.75 ERA in 213 innings in the minors, including a 3.43 mark in 14 games with Triple-A Nashville. He’ll likely spend most -- if not all -- of his time with Triple-A El Paso in 2020.

The left-hander recently recovered from Tommy John surgery. The 26-year-old has thrown only 2/3 inning above Single-A ball. He went undrafted after playing college baseball but signed with the Braves and pitched well in the lowest levels of the minor leagues before the elbow injury. Despite his inexperience he has a chance to pitch in the majors as a left-handed specialist but is unlikely to have any fantasy value.
