Just google why skenes hasn’t been called up. It has to do with his rookie contract and his length he stays with the pirates.

Hasn't he already passed the service time threshold? I understood it to be 3 rotation cycles or 15 days, which he's surpassed by several weeks and several cycles now.

If that is correct then that's no longer the reason he's being kept down. The fact is it's VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY rare for rookies to start the year in the Majors and while that rookie service time stuff is a think it rarely affects folks right out of college or high school. 99.99% of players will legitimately have to develop in the minors.

Ohhhh Google knows lol. The only way him getting called up affects that is if he wins ROY. That’s been true since mid-April
