  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Ready for extended spring training

    Horwitz (wrist) has been cleared for baseball activity and will participate in extended spring training, MLB.com reports.

    This marks a significant step in Horwitz's recovery, though he'll still likely need plenty of ramp-up time after missing all of spring training. He should take over as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman once activated from the injured list.

  • Pirates' Enmanuel Valdez: Appears as pinch hitter

    Valdez (shoulder) went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored Sunday against the Guardians.

    Valdez was out of the starting lineup after suffering a minor shoulder injury Saturday, though he managed to enter the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. That suggests Valdez should avoid a stint on the injured list, but his status will likely remain unclear until the Pirates retake the field Tuesday.
