"So far so good," manager Clint Hurdle told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Wednesday. "There were no repercussions from (Tuesday). He didn't feel anything."
McDonald is set to begin his rehab assignment Monday for Double-A Altoona. He has not pitched since April 30 due to a shoulder injury.

| After years of promise, James McDonald finally gave owners some hope that he was going to take his game to the next level in 2012. He went 9-3 with a 2.37 ERA in his first 17 starts while striking out 100 in 110 innings pitched. Snubbed from the midsummer classic, the right-hander was not the same after the All-Star break as he posted a 7.08 ERA over his final 12 outings and was moved to the bullpen in September. Hopefully the Pirates will be able to figure out the flaw that caused the 28-year-old so fall off so dramatically last season and get him back to being a reliable option in Fantasy. Just like last year, McDonald has the ability to be a boom-or-bust pick on Draft Day but given his potential, target him in the middle-to-late rounds in most formats. (Updated 12/4/12) |
