A.J. Burnett allowed one run over seven innings but took a no-decision as the Pirates lost to the Astros in extra innings on Saturday.
Burnett had the win stolen from him when Mark Melancon surrendered the lead an inning later, but it doesn't take away from his performance. Burnett scattered five hits and four walks in the outing, striking out seven. The right-hander continues his stellar post-Yankees career, as he now owns a 2.57 ERA and 1.10 WHIP on the year. He'll toe the slab again Friday against the Brewers.
May 18 - 11:08 PM
A.J. Burnett allowed two runs and two hits in seven innings Wednesday in a loss to the Mariners.
Burnett struck out nine today, but he couldn't outduel Felix Hernandez in falling to 3-3 on the season. The go-ahead homer he allowed to Jesus Montero in the seventh inning today was the first surrendered by him in five starts.
May 8 - 4:28 PM
A.J. Burnett turned in another stellar performance on Friday, punching out nine in a victory over the Nationals.
Burnett surrendered just one run on five hits over his seven innings of work. The only blemish on his evening came on an RBI single off the bat of Danny Espinosa in the fourth inning. With the victory, Burnett improves to 3-0 on the season and lowers his ERA to a sparkling 2.57. He’ll carry a highly impressive 57/15 K/BB ratio into Wednesday’s home tilt against the Mariners.
May 3 - 9:59 PM
A.J. Burnett held the Cardinals to two runs over six innings Saturday to earn his second win.
Burnett is now 2-2 with a superb 2.83 ERA and 1.17 WHIP through six starts this season. He gave up a run in a shaky first inning Saturday but was fairly solid the rest of the way, yielding only one additional St. Louis tally. Burnett faces a tough test next week at home against the Nationals, but he's a must-start at the moment in mixed and NL-only fantasy formats.

John McDonald
D.L.
John McDonald (back) is also dealing with a right elbow injury.
McDonald landed on the DL last week with a lower back strain, but his elbow has also been an issue. The infielder is eligible to return from the DL on May 30, but it's not clear if he'll be ready at that time.
May 19

Chase d'Arnaud
D.L.
Chase d'Arnaud (thumb) began a rehab assignment with High-A Bradenton on Thursday.
d'Arnaud has been sidelined since undergoing left thumb surgery late in spring training. He figures to need a few weeks' worth of rehab at-bats but could be optioned to Triple-A after that.

James McDonald
D.L.
James McDonald (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona on May 27.
That's assuming he gets through bullpen sessions on Tuesday and Friday with no issues. McDonald is slated to go four innings and/or throw 65 pitches for Altoona, so he'll need at least one additional rehab start before being activated. He's not a given to rejoin the rotation once healthy.
May 19

Francisco Liriano
5
Charlie Morton
D.L.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Thursday that Charlie Morton (elbow, shoulder) will make three more minor league rehab starts.
Morton's rehab from Tommy John surgery was recently halted due to some shoulder soreness, but he returned to game action Thursday with Double-A Altoona and gave up two runs in four innings. If all goes well, he could join the Pirates' rotation in the early part of June.
May 16
6
Jeff Karstens
D.L.
Jeff Karstens (shoulder) will make his next rehab start Saturday with Double-A Altoona.
Karstens, currently working his way back from shoulder inflammation, gave up one run in three innings Monday in his first rehab outing with High-A Bradenton. He could join the Pirates by early June, though it isn't clear what his role will be.
