James McDonald (shoulder) might be moved to the bullpen when he is activated from the disabled list.

Gerrit Cole's promotion and Charlie Morton's return created a potential logjam in the Pittsburgh rotation and McDonald is probably going to have to be the odd man out. The 28-year-old righty owns a 5.76 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 29 2/3 innings this season. He is on the 15-day DL currently because of inflammation in his shoulder. Jun 17 - 8:52 AM

LF	1	Starling Marte Sidelined Starling Marte went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored as the Pirates beat the Reds 4-0 on Tuesday. Marte was the catalyst of the Pirates offense on Tuesday. The triple led off the game and was the Pirates' only extra-base hit of the night. He later scored before singling in a run of his own in the seventh inning. Marte also stole a base in the game, his 21st of the season. Jun 18

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	A.J. Burnett D.L. A.J. Burnett said Friday that he has a Grade 1 tear in his right calf. Burnett, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday, said he currently can't put any weight on his leg. There's no clear timetable for his return, but the veteran right-hander said that he hopes it's "not a six-week thing." The Pirates and fantasy owners are hoping the game, but it doesn't sound like he'll be back when he's first eligible. Jun 14
	2	Wandy Rodriguez D.L. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Monday that Wandy Rodriguez (forearm) "felt good" while throwing off the mound Monday. It's not clear what the next step will be, but it could be enough for the Pirates to send him out on a rehab start. Rodriguez has been sidelined since June 5 with left forearm tightness. Jun 17

He had been aiming to join the Pirates' starting rotation in early June, but is now unlikely to return this season. Jun 8
