Pirates pitcher Khristian Curtis suffers injury in Indy start

Khristian Curtis, a pitching prospect for the Pittsburgh Pirates, sustained a right arm injury during a game for the Indianapolis Indians against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Wednesday. The injury occurred in the top of the second inning when a comebacker struck him. Curtis was evaluated and did not return to the game, raising concerns given his history of prior surgeries on the same arm. This season, he has a 2-7 record with a 4.48 ERA across multiple levels of minor league play, including a recent 2-0 start with a 3.27 ERA in AAA Indianapolis. His development as a prospect has generated interest within the Pirates organization.
