Jeff Karstens announced his retirement from baseball on Monday.

Karstens is just 32, but his career went off track after a series of shoulder injuries. He was a solid, albeit unspectacular pitcher for parts of seven major league seasons, posting a 4.44 ERA and 1.33 WHIP for the Pirates and Yankees. Karstens hadn't pitched in the majors since 2012.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Francisco Cervelli Sidelined Francisco Cervelli (hand, finger) is out of the Pirates' starting lineup Thursday versus the Reds. Cervelli left Wednesday night's game in the 12th inning due to discomfort in his right hand and finger. This has been a lingering issue for the veteran catcher, but it doesn't sound overly serious. Elias Diaz is starting behind the plate and batting seventh Thursday afternoon against Cincinnati right-hander Luis Castillo. May 24

	3	Jung Ho Kang Suspended Jung Ho Kang has been playing in extended spring training games. Kang is easing back into things, going 5-7 innings at a time and only playing every other day for now. He hit a home run in one of the games recently and Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said all the reports he's received on the infielder have been positive. When Kang will be activated by the Pirates remains to be seen, but it's looking like he'll be a factor for them at some point this season. May 20
LF	1	Corey Dickerson

CF	1	Starling Marte 10-Day DL Starling Marte (oblique) could be activated from the disabled list on Saturday. Marte will go through a full workout on Friday and if he gets through that with no setbacks and feels fine Saturday he might be activated. Austin Meadows is a candidate to be optioned back to Triple-A Indianapolis even though he's played so well, as there wouldn't be an everyday role for him. May 25

	6	Enny Romero 10-Day DL Enny Romero (shoulder) has begun playing catch on flat ground. Romero is working out at the Pirates' spring training complex in Bradenton, Florida. The team attempted to designate him for assignment before his shoulder injury was revealed, so the 27-year-old left-hander might not have a spot in the major league bullpen when he's healthy. May 24
	7	Tyler Glasnow
	8	A.J. Schugel 10-Day DL A.J. Schugel (shoulder) got a platelet-rich plasma injection this week. Schugel was pulled off his minor league rehab assignment May 4 with renewed soreness in his injured right shoulder and he hasn't made much progress since. The 28-year-old right-hander has been out all season and there is no timetable for his return to the Pirates' bullpen. May 24
	9	Steven Brault
	10	Nick Burdi 60-Day DL Pirates placed RHP Nick Burdi on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. The move creates a spot for Bryce Brentz on the 40-man roster. Burdi, a Rule 5 Draft pick from the Twins, is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He could be a factor later this year. Feb 20
	11	Nik Turley Suspended Pirates LHP Nik Turley was suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for performance-enhancing substance Ipamorelin. Turley was just claimed off waivers from the Twins in November, and now his Pirates debut will have to wait. He made his major league debut in 2017, posting an ugly 11.21 ERA in 10 appearances. His suspension will begin at the start of the season. Jan 27
