Injury report
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
The Pirates have implemented a new policy this year as it relates to disclosing injury information and it involves issuing team statements on injuries. In the past, more often than not, media members got injury information by asking questions.
Anyways, the Pirates sent out an injury update this morning, and I’ve copied and pasted it below. I’m not sure how much information is really in here, given how vague and unspecific a number of these updates are. But I give you what I receive and you can do your best to decipher…
- RHP Jose Ascanio threw a bullpen yesterday without any issues. He will continue on his return to pitch progression.
- LHP Joe Beimel continues on his return to pitch progression without issue.
- OF John Bowker - his left wrist feels better and his status remains day to day.
- INF Brian Friday - his left hand feels better and his status remains day to day.
- RHP Kevin Hart continues on his return to pitch progression without issue.
- LHP Scott Olsen continues on his return to pitch progression without issue.
- INF Josh Rodriguez - his right quadriceps feels better and his status remains day to day.
