Struggles in ninth inning
Mears allowed one earned run on one hit and three walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning Monday against the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Mears entered the game in the ninth inning with Colorado up by three and the chance to earn the first save of his career. He allowed only one ball out of the infield -- it was caught for an out -- but he struggled significantly with his control and was pulled with the bases loaded and two outs. Jake Bird relieved Mears and tallied the final out of the game to earn the save. Meanwhile, Justin Lawrence was used in a setup role, but Tyler Kinley -- who was unavailable Monday -- will likely be next in for saves over both Bird or Mears.

Joins taxi squad
Mears has been added to the Pirates' taxi squad, reports Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com.
ANALYSIS
Mears had elbow surgery in February and was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis when he returned from the injury in August. All in all, he threw 30 innings combined between Triple-A and Single-A and posted a 4.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB. The 25-year-old righty made 34 relief appearances for Pittsburgh over the previous two seasons and may get a shot to appear in a game or two over the last few days of the season.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Mears made his big-league debut amidst a shortened 2020 season, making four relief appearances for the Pirates. He surrendered three runs on four hits while striking out seven and walking seven across five innings of work. Prior to his debut, he hadn't pitched above Double-A, where he also saw limited action in 2019. Mears' elevated BB% was alarming in what turned out to be an extremely small sample size, but his strikeout stuff is up there with the best of them, featuring a solid fastball sitting around 96 mph and a curveball at 78 mph. It wouldn't be surprising to see Mears fall near the front end of Pittsburgh's bullpen in 2021 if he's able to crack the Opening Day roster.
