Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton, who is scheduled to start Thursday against the Giants, was officially reinstated from the 60-day disabled list Thursday, the team announced.
Morton made nine starts at three minor-league levels during his rehab, going 1-2 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings. Thursday's start will be his first in the majors since May 29, 2012.
