| News: Karstens (shoulder) will need about three more rehab starts and will be available June 7 at the earliest, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Bill Brink reports. | Impact: There's no guarantee that Karstens will slot into the rotation once he is ready, but he at least figures to give the Pirates an extra option. Charlie Morton (elbow) will likely be ready around the same time as Karstens, while top prospects Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon could be in the mix at some point.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Karstens (shoulder) threw three innings for High-A Bradenton on Monday and is expected to pitch again Saturday for the Marauders. | Impact: Karstens faced 13 hitters Monday, allowing four hits and no walks. The Pirates are currently bringing him back on a starter's schedule, but general manager Neal Huntington said that he's still not sure whether the veteran righty will start or relieve for the Pirates. Most likely, the team will base its decision on the health of the rest of the pitching staff.(RotoWire, ) |
