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 Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Wednesday that he will "back off" catcher Francisco Cervelli (hand) the rest of the way. Injuries have limited Cervelli to just 101 games played in 2016. With it looking increasingly likely that the veteran catcher will miss the final few games of the campaign, Eric Fryer is starting behind the plate against the Cubs on Wednesday and batting eighth. Sep 28
	2	Chris Stewart 60-Day DL Chris Stewart underwent arthroscopic surgery Tuesday on his left knee. The procedure comes with 6-8 weeks of rest and rehab. Stewart finished the 2016 season with a weak .214/.319/.286 batting line in 113 plate appearances. He is owed $1.4 million from the Pirates in 2017. Sep 20
	3	Eric Fryer
	4	Jacob Stallings
	5	Elias Diaz 60-Day DL Pirates recalled C Elias Diaz from Triple-A Indianapolis; placed him on the 60-day disabled list. Diaz underwent season-ending surgery earlier this month for a leg infection. The 25-year-old catcher hit .290/.331/.339 with one home run in 124 at-bats this summer between Double-A and Triple-A. He saw just four at-bats at the major league level. Sep 13
1B	1	John Jaso
	2	Josh Bell
	3	Jason Rogers
2B	1	Josh Harrison 60-Day DL Pirates placed INF Josh Harrison on the 60-day disabled list with a groin injury. Harrison was shut down two weeks ago with a right groin strain. The 29-year-old finishes the 2016 season with a disappointing .283/.311/.388 batting line in 131 games. He's owed $7.75 million in 2017 on a contract that carries options through 2020. Sep 26

LF	1	Starling Marte Sidelined Starling Marte (back) is being held out of the lineup again as the Pirates face the Cubs on Wednesday. Marte said on Tuesday that he is uncertain whether he will be able to start another game this season. He has been fighting through back tightness and back spasms for most of September. Josh Bell draws the start in right field and will bat second. Sep 28

S	1	Gerrit Cole 60-Day DL Pirates placed RHP Gerrit Cole on the 60-day disabled list with right elbow posterior inflammation. Cole got lit up for five earned runs over just two innings of work Monday in his return from the disabled list -- a 6-2 loss to the lowly Phillies. He's still having trouble with his right elbow, and the 69-73 Pirates no longer want to mess with it. The Pittsburgh ace will spend the offseason in rehab mode with an eye on opening the 2017 campaign at something close to 100 percent health. Sep 13

R	1	Tony Watson
	2	Neftali Feliz Sidelined Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said that Neftali Feliz (arm) is almost certainly done for the 2016 season. No surprise here. Feliz was just recently cleared to throw off of flat ground as he continues to rehab from a bout of right arm discomfort. With mere days remaining in the regular season, a return to the major league mound would have been miraculous. The 28-year-old right-hander finishes out the 2016 season holding a 3.52 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 61/21 K/BB ratio over 53 2/3 frames. Sep 28

	7	Jeff Locke
	8	A.J. Schugel 60-Day DL Pirates placed RHP A.J. Schugel on the 60-day disabled list, retroactive to August 31, with a right shoulder injury. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Phil Coke. Schugel hasn't pitched at all this month due to a sore shoulder and is now officially ruled out for the rest of the season. Sep 23
