Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton is expected to throw 3-4 innings in an extended spring training Saturday, manager Clint Hurdle said per the Pittsburgh Tribune.
Morton, who is currently on the 15-day DL with a hip injury, has been making "incremental progress" towards a return to the hill. Morton posted a 6-12 record with a 3.72 ERA and 126 strikeouts in 157 1/3 innings in 2014.
