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.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
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.
May 15 - 2:10 PM
John McDonald left Tuesday's game against the Brewers with lower back discomfort.
The ailment figures to sideline McDonald for at least a few days. He has just two hits in 31 at-bats for the Pirates.
May 14 - 11:24 PM

Bill Brink on Twitter
Pirates acquired INF John McDonald from the Diamondbacks for a player to be named later.
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal first reported the deal while CBS Sports' Jon Heyman passed along word about the player to be named later. McDonald, 38, batted .249/.295/.386 with six home runs in 213 plate appearances last season while making appearances at shortstop, second base and the hot corner. Known as a solid defender, he should be a useful bench player for Pittsburgh.

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) 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.

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.
