Sat Apr 27 201919:29Pirates pitcher Chris Archer sidelined by injured thumb
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pittsburgh right-hander Chris Archer was placed on the 10-day injured list with inflammation of the thumb on his pitching hand, which has bothered him for his last two starts.With three off days between now and May 6, the Pirates can get Archer some time to heal without needing a fifth starter. The Pirates recalled right-hander Michael Feliz on Saturday.Manager Clint Hurdle said Archer felt the thumb issue last weekend against San Francisco and again Friday night, when he gave up six runs over four innings in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Archer is 1-2 with 4.33 ERA in five starts.Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said that Archer's injury resulted from wear and tear.Tomczyk said outfielder Corey Dickerson will not start his expected injury rehabilitation assignment because he experienced tightness in his injured shoulder while throwing from 110 feet. Dickerson will meet the club at Texas next week and will be examined.Outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall, on a rehab assignment after breaking his right index finger, felt left calf tightness while running the bases Friday. He will return to Pittsburgh to be examined.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/tag/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
Mon Apr 22 201917:37Pirates activate Gregory Polanco off injured list
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gregory Polanco couldn't get the awkward slide into second base last September that dislocated his left shoulder out of his head. The Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder pored over the video during his lengthy rehab to the point where it simply got to be too much."It was terrible," Polanco said. "I watch it a lot of times and it was not a good feeling to watch it so I stopped."And focused on the long road back, one that reached a significant milestone on Monday when the Pirates activated the 27-year-old off the injured list and put him in the lineup in time for the opener of a four-game series with Arizona.Polanco was legging out a double against the Miami Marlins on Sept. 7 when he tried an unorthodox slide to avoid a tag. He appeared to leap in the air before extending his left leg toward the bag, tumbling forward and starting a sequence that ended with his left shoulder dislocated and the labrum in his throwing shoulder torn. He had surgery on Sept. 12, ending a season... [More]
Mon Apr 22 201916:34Pirates activate Gregory Polanco off injured list
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates activated Gregory Polanco off the 10-day injured list after the right fielder completed a lengthy rehab from a dislocated left shoulder last September that cut short his 2018 season.Polanco was to bat third for the National League Central leading Pirates on Monday night against Arizona, a welcome jolt for a team dealing with a rash of injuries to the outfield. Starling Marte, Corey Dickerson and Lonnie Chisenhall are all out indefinitely while dealing with injuries.The 27-year-old Polanco hit a career-high 23 home runs for Pittsburgh in 2018 before his season ended thanks to an awkward slide into second base against Miami on Sept. 7. He underwent surgery on Sept. 12 to repair a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder.Polanco hit .300 with five RBIs and two stolen bases during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis.To make room for Polanco, the Pirates assigned left-handed reliever Steven Brault to Triple-A.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/tag/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
Thu Apr 4 201916:55Pirates put OF Dickerson on injured list for shoulder strain
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have put outfielder Corey Dickerson on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right shoulder.The Pirates made the move Thursday and reinstated right-hander Jordan Lyles from the injured list.Dickerson said the injury didn't happen on any particular play and instead was something that had built up over time. He will be shut down from throwing for an indefinite amount of time, but will be able to swing and run while rehabilitating his shoulder and is not expected to require surgery.The 30-year-old Dickerson hit .300 last season and won a Gold Glove in left field. He played in each of the Pirates' first four games this season, going 2 for 13. He was not in the starting lineup Wednesday against St. Louis and grounded out as a pinch-hitter."It's better to take care of it now and be able to help the team for as many months as I can at 100% than try to manipulate and let in linger and not help the team as much as I want," Dickerson said.Pirates manager...

Thu Mar 28 201915:43Pirates put OF Lonnie Chisenhall on DL with broken finger

He said Chisenhall will be evaluated in 10 days.The Pirates signed Chisenhall this month as a free agent to fill in while right fielder Gregory Polanco recovers from a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Polanco is expected to return by mid-June. Chisenhall got a $2.75 million, one-year deal to serve as his fill-in.The Pirates also put Jordan Lyles, their fifth starter, on the injured list with discomfort in his right side.Pittsburgh made the moves prior to their opener against the Cincinnati Reds.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
Tue Mar 26 201906:17Orioles' Cobb to miss opener, goes on injured list
With opening day just around the corner, the list of notable players who are going to be absent keeps growing.World Series MVP Steve Pearce will start the season on the injured list for the Boston Red Sox, and Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. went down with a knee injury Monday night when he slipped on home plate.Earlier in the day, Baltimore put scheduled opening-day starter Alex Cobb on the 10-day injured list with a strained right groin.Pearce exited an exhibition game last weekend due to discomfort in his left calf. The right-handed batter normally platoons with lefty-hitting Mitch Moreland at first base, but the Red Sox will begin defense of their championship Thursday in Seattle without Pearce."We have to do it that way," manager Alex Cora said. "It makes sense for us, it makes sense for him. He should be back sooner rather than later but he won't be ready for Seattle, so why take a chance?"Sam Travis will likely make the team and take Pearce's spot on the opening-day... [More]
Sat Mar 9 201918:40Chisenhall ready to move around the field for the Pirates
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Lonnie Chisenhall knows his new gig as the Pittsburgh Pirates' starting right fielder is likely temporary.Gregory Polanco is recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and the Pirates say he will be out until sometime between mid-April and mid-June. Chisenhall was signed to a $2.75 million, one-year contract in the offseason to serve as the fill-in.The Pirates feel Chisenhall can be a valuable option off the bench once Polanco is healthy. He began his major league career with the Cleveland Indians as a third baseman and is also capable of playing first base as well as the three outfield positions.It will mark the first time in Chisenhall's nine years in the majors that he will be a bench player."Versatility is the way the game is trending now," Chisenhall said. "Guys need to play multiple positions. You have to be able to affect the game in different areas. I'm just trying to stay the course."You have to be open-minded and willing to grow.... [More]
Tue Mar 5 201920:25Indians' Martin climbing back after life-threatening illness
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Leonys Martin turned and sprinted toward the gap in left-center field to snare Nick Madrigal's drive. He ripped a breaking ball over the wall in right-center for a home run, and returned a fervent embrace from a former teammate.All in a day's work on Tuesday.All in Martin's new life with the Cleveland Indians.Just six games after arriving from Detroit in a July 31 trade, Martin's career came to a crashing halt.

Wed Feb 13 201917:31Even Pirates optimistic as spring training starts
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Optimism always runs high on the first day of spring training, even for the Pittsburgh Pirates."This club has a feel that we can be a postseason team, that we can be a team that can advance deep in the postseason," general manager Neal Huntington said Wednesday as workouts started. "Championship teams are based typically around starting pitching and you win the games you're supposed to win because of your back end. Then you score."Pittsburgh hasn't reached the World Series since winning the 1979 title. The Pirates were 82-79 last season, a bit of a surprise after Andrew McCutchen and Gerrit Cole were traded.The Pirates haven't been to the postseason since winning the first NL wild card for three straight seasons from 2013-15. They have not won a division title since 1992.However, the Pirates believe they can contend this year because of a rotation that includes Jameson Taillon, Chris Archer, Trevor Williams and Joe Musgrove.
