The Pittsburgh Pirates placed reliever Keone Kela on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 24, with right forearm tightness.
The Pirates recalled right-hander Nick Mears from their alternate training site in a corresponding roster move. Richard Rodriguez will likely be the Pirates' primary closer while Kela is sidelined.
Kela owns a 4.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP with 3 strikeouts over two innings (three appearances) this season.
