On the injury front, Pirates catcher Joey Bart is now on the concussion injured list. He was taken out of the game on May 27th after a backswing hit him in the head. No word on when he will return to action. Colin Holderman is on the 15-day DL as he suffered an inflamed tendon in his right thumb. He received a cortisone injection and will not throw a baseball for seven days. Johan Oviedo continues to recover from his UCL surgery, and is throwing side sessions with no issues.
