With both Jason Grilli and Mark Melancon unavailable, Tony Watson nailed down his first career save Thursday, giving up one run over two innings in a win over the Phillies.
Watson allowed a hit and a run in the eighth and a leadoff double in the ninth, but he then retired three straight to close out the two-run victory. The southpaw has a 3.00 ERA and 0.83 WHIP for the season and appears to be third in line for saves in Pittsburgh.
Apr 25 - 5:14 PM
Making his first appearance in three weeks, Tony Watson gave up three runs in an inning Wednesday against the Braves.
Watson figured to be a lock for the Pirates pen after finishing with a 3.38 ERA in 53 1/3 innings as a lefty specialist last year, but he's dealing with some largely undisclosed issues right now and he's given up seven runs in 2 2/3 innings this spring. He does have an option remaining, so the Pirates may choose to send him down until he gets things sorted out.
Mar 20 - 5:45 PM
Tony Watson is scheduled to return to action Sunday.
Watson hasn't pitched in a game since February 28 due to unspecified mechanical and physical issues. However, it appears that he is over the hump.

Tony Watson hasn't thrown in a game since February 28 due to what he calls "mechanical and physical issues."
Watson declined to elaborate, so the severity of his physical issue isn't known. It's also a mystery when he'll pitch next. The 27-year-old had a 3.38 ERA and 53/23 K/BB ratio over 53 1/3 innings last season and was expected to be the Pirates' primary left-hander out of the bullpen in 2013.

John McDonald
D.L.
Pirates placed INF John McDonald on the 15-day disabled list with lower back discomfort.
McDonald suffered the injury during Tuesday's game and will now get some extended rest. The 38-year-old has just two hits in 31 at-bats this season. Jordy Mercer has returned from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace him on the active roster.

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) could throw off a mound next Tuesday.
McDonald has been throwing on flat ground with no issues. While he is coming along, he is still a long ways off from a return. With the Pirates having Gerrit Cole in the minors and other pitchers coming back from injury, it's possible McDonald won't have a rotation spot once healthy.

Francisco Liriano

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

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.
