Colin Selby Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Yankees vs Orioles game today with our Major League Baseball injury report.Sep 17, 2023
Opening again Sunday
Selby is listed as Pittsburgh's probable starting pitcher Sunday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Selby will serve as an opener for the fifth time this season, and he's allowed four earned runs with a 9:3 K:BB over six frames in that role. The rookie right-hander will likely only cover an inning or two before giving way to potential bulk pitcher Andre Jackson.

Opening Wednesday
Selby will start Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Selby's last outing as an opener came a week ago against Milwaukee, during which he surrendered three runs in just one inning. The 25-year-old holds an 8.64 ERA on the season through 16.2 frames, so the Pirates likely won't risk keeping Selby in for much longer than one inning.

Opening again Wednesday
Selby will start Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday will mark the third time Selby has served as Pittsburgh's opener since being promoted to the majors in August. He didn't allow a run in either of his first two starts, but he gave up two runs in just one-third of an inning during his most-recent appearance. He'll likely stay in the game for an inning or two before handing things over to Mitch Keller, who is likely to serve as a bulk reliever.

Opening for Pirates on Saturday
Selby will serve as an opener for the Pirates on Saturday versus the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Selby has struck out 13 but allowed seven runs while walking six over his first 8.2 major-league innings. It had been Osvaldo Bido's turn and he could instead be ticketed for bulk relief.

Getting call to majors
Selby is being called up to the Pirates' major-league roster Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
It will be the first taste of MLB action for Selby, who has pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB through 30.1 innings this season out of the Triple-A Indianapolis bullpen. The 25-year-old right-hander will likely fill a middle-relief role with Pittsburgh.

Returns to Triple-A bullpen
Selby (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning in relief Friday for Triple-A Indianapolis after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list earlier that day.
ANALYSIS
Selby was on the shelf for about a month due to the right shoulder injury. The 25-year-old right-handed reliever has compiled a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB in 16.1 innings. Though he's not seen as one of the Pirates' better pitching prospects, Selby's presence on the 40-man roster should give him a chance at making his big-league debut later in 2023 if Pittsburgh has a need for another bullpen arm.

On shelf with shoulder injury
Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Selby has been shut down at Triple-A Indianapolis due to a shoulder injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Selby hasn't resumed a throwing program since Indianapolis placed him on the 7-day injured list May 19 with a previously undisclosed injury. Based on where he currently stands in his recovery from the shoulder issue, Selby is likely at least a few weeks away from being ready to pitch in games.
May 24, 2023
On IL at Triple-A
Selby was placed on the 7-day injured list last week with Triple-A Indianapolis.
ANALYSIS
Arguably the Pirates' best relief pitching prospect, Selby struck out 20 and walked 11 while generating groundballs 62.9 percent of the time in 15.1 innings at Triple-A. He also notched three saves in 14 appearances. It's unclear what the nature of his injury is.
Mar 14, 2023
Optioned to minors
Selby was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Selby pitched well in 2022 with a 2.27 ERA and 8 saves over 29 appearances with Double-A Altoona and Indianapolis. The right-hander was protected from the Rule 5 draft in November by being added to the 40-man roster, and should spend time in Pittsburgh this summer -- if not sooner.
