Coming off a dominating performance in the Dominican Winter League, Kris Johnson has his sights set on earning a spot in the Pirates starting rotation this spring.
The 28-year-old lefty has never pitched at the major league level, but posted an eye-popping 0.91 ERA and 50/13 K/BB ratio over 59 1/3 innings for Dominican League champion Escogido. While a longshot to win a spot in the rotation outright, he could make the big league roster as a swing-man given his versatility.

Pirates re-signed LHP Kris Johnson to a minor league contract.
Johnson, 28, posted a 4.53 ERA in 20 appearances (four starts) at the Pirates' Triple-A affiliate. The deal includes an invite to spring training.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 10:50:00 PM
Pirates signed LHP Kris Johnson to a minor league contract.
Johnson was drafted in the supplemental first round of the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft but had almost no success at any level of the Red Sox organization. The left-hander has a 5.10 career minor league ERA. He's only 26 years old, so the Bucs will give him a shot to turn things around on the farm.

Red Sox released LHP Kris Johnson.
Johnson was drafted in the supplemental first round of the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft but had almost no success at any level of the Red Sox organization. He's only 26 years old, so perhaps another club will come calling. The left-hander has a 5.10 career minor league ERA.

Starling Marte
Sidelined
Starling Marte (rib cage) entered Sunday's game as a defensive replacement and wound up 0-for-2.
Marte was held out of the starting lineup (and has not started a game since last Wednesday) due to soreness in his left rib cage, but the issue is obviously improving. Marte, 24, is batting .287/.355/.422 with six home runs and 20 stolen bases in 64 games this year.

Jose Tabata
D.L.
Jose Tabata (oblique) has been hitting off a tee and taking underhand toss.
Assuming he progresses on schedule, Tabata is slated to begin a rehab assignment on June 21. He should rejoin the Pirates before the end of the month.

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.

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.

James McDonald
D.L.
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.

Jeff Karstens (shoulder) underwent rotator cuff and labrum surgery on Friday.
Karstens will be shut down for a minimum of 10-12 weeks as he recovers from the injury. He had been aiming to join the Pirates' starting rotation in early June, but is now unlikely to return this season.
