Latest News
James McDonald could throw bullpen session Tuesday
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/16/13) Pirates starting pitcher James McDonald could throw a bullpen session Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He has been flowing from flat ground but isn't close to returning to the team.

McDonald is recovering from shoulder inflammation that resulted in his placement on the 15-day disabled list May 7.

No timetable for James McDonald
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) Pirates manager Clint Hurdle told MLB.com on Monday that pitcher James McDonald will not begin a throwing program until he gets over the soreness or tenderness in his shoulder. There is no timetable for his return.

"McDonald is just still on hold," Hurdle said.

The right-hander went 2-2 with a 5.76 ERA in six starts before landing on the disabled list.
James McDonald dealing with inflammation in shoulder
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(5/8/13) An MRI on Pirates starter James McDonald showed no structural damage in his right shoulder and revealed only inflammation, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. The right-hander underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection on Wednesday.

McDonald has gone 2-2 with a 5.76 ERA through six starts.
Dropping James McDonald is the right move
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/7/13) Pirates starting pitcher James McDonald's ownership has been falling with his dreadful start to the season, and the remaining Fantasy owners still clinging to him should feel free to abandon ship. McDonald was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, after he was scratched from a start with discomfort in his right shoulder.

The team does not have a timetable for his return right now, but I would not even be concerned about that if I owned him. McDonald has a 5.76 ERA and has been unable to find the strike zone consistently. He was hardly worth using in most Fantasy formats before the injury, and this is a good excuse to dump him onto the waiver wire. 

James McDonald scratched with shoulder discomfort
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/7/13) Pirates pitcher James McDonald has been scratched from Tuesday's start with shoulder discomfort. He's been placed on the 15-day disabled list.

McDonald has struggled this season, posting a 5.76 ERA and a 4.09 FIP in 29 2/3 innings. McDonald's walk rate has spiked to 14.5 percent to begin the year, a career-high. He'll be replaced by Jeanmar Gomez. Gomez will pitch against Mariners pitcher Aaron Harang.
