Sep 20, 2017 - 9:11 AM LF Jose Pirela might be shut down for the rest of the season if the jammed pinky finger on his left hand doesn't show improvement soon.

He missed a seventh straight start Tuesday (his only appearances has been twice as a pinch-runner) and manager Andy Green said Pirela could be shut down for the rest of the season if the situation doesn't soon improve. Pirela hit in the indoor cages Tuesday.
