Pirates starting pitcher Charlie Morton (labrum) made progress Saturday pitching in a simulated game at the organization's training complex and moved closer to rejoining the team's rotation, reports MLB.com.
Morton, who's recovering from labrum surgery on Sept. 25, threw 93 pitches in a six-inning workout.
"Charlie threw all his pitches, and thought it went well," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
Morton went 6-12 with a 3.72 ERA last season
