Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk indicated Thursday that Nunez (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing next week, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Nunez has been on the injured list at Triple-A Indianapolis since late May because of a right shoulder impingement, but he's responded well to a lengthy period of rest and treatment and could potentially return to minor-league games around mid-to-late July. The 22-year-old corner infielder was heating up on the farm just prior to the injury with a 1.014 OPS during May.
