Francisco Liriano improved to 2-0 after limiting the Brewers to one run in 5 2/3 innings on Thursday.
Liriano pretty much matched his first start tonight. That his 1.55 WHIP is pretty much a match for a 1.64 ERA suggests he's not pitching especially well, but he does have 16 strikeouts in 11 innings. He's capable of remaining a decent mixed-league starter while healthy.
May 16 - 10:28 PM
Francisco Liriano made his season debut Saturday against the Mets and allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings as part of an 11-2 victory.
Liriano scattered six hits while striking out nine and walking a pair. The lone run scored on an RBI single by Marlon Byrd with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning. He'll have a tougher test against the Brewers next week, but Liriano's strikeout potential should make him an asset in most mixed leagues. He could benefit by pitching in the National League, so give him a shot if he's sitting on the waiver wire.
May 11 - 5:25 PM
Pirates activated LHP Francisco Liriano from the 15-day disabled list.
Liriano has been out all season while recovering from a broken right arm and will make his Pirates debut Saturday against the Mets. He won't be on a strict pitch count after throwing 98 pitches in his latest rehab outing. With his strikeout ability, Liriano makes for a decent flier in deeper mixed leagues.
May 11 - 10:30 AM
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Wednesday that Francisco Liriano (arm) is on track to make his season debut on May 11 against the Mets.
Liriano, who is working his way back from a fractured right (non-throwing) arm, has a 3.24 ERA and 27/3 K/BB ratio in 16 2/3 innings through four rehab outings. With his strikeout ability, he could make for a decent DL-stash in deeper mixed leagues.

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.

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.

McCutchen was injured sliding into home Thursday, but it's not a major concern and he isn't dealing with any structural damage. The Pirates should update his status on Monday.

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.

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.

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.
