The Pittsburgh Pirates (23-36) take on the Los Angeles Dodgers (34-25) in a three-game set at PNC Park, with game two tonight at 7:05 PM. Tyler Anderson will be on the mound for the Pirates, making his 12th start. He has a 4.67 ERA in 61.2 innings, with 59 strikeouts and a 1.20 WHIP. The Dodgers are countering with right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin, who is making his season debut. He has been out since Opening Day with a shoulder injury.
The update on Miguel Yajure was good today, with him returning to play catch soon. The update on Jose Soriano, the Rule 5 pick, not so good.
Todd Tomczyk said José Soriano's elbow was examined, they identified new damage to the reconstructed UCL and they're setting up a second opinion with Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
