15 Days Pittsburgh Pirates Comment

Neil Walker (hand) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Double-A Altoona.

If all goes well, the second baseman will rejoin the Pirates this weekend in New York. He was placed on the disabled list May 3 -- retroactive to April 27 -- with a deep gash on his right hand that required six stitches.

Pirates placed 2B Neil Walker on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 27, with a right index finger laceration.

The Pirates were hoping that Walker could avoid a stint on the disabled list, but he made little in the way of progress over the past few days. However, if all goes well, he should be ready to return as soon as he's eligible next weekend.

The Pirates could place Neil Walker (finger) on the disabled list if he doesn't make progress by Friday.

Walker required six stitches in his right index finger last Friday after he had his hand stepped on at second base. He was able to field grounders and throw prior to Tuesday's game, but he's still unable to grip a bat. The Pirates can't afford to go short-handed for much longer, so something will have to give soon.

Neil Walker (finger) fielded grounders and threw prior to Tuesday's game but is still unable to grip a bat.

Walker is hoping to have the six stitches removed from his right index finger by this weekend. The Pirates obviously believe he'll recover in time to avoid the DL.

Neil Walker (finger) was unable to take batting practice Monday as hoped.

Walker is dealing with a deep cut on his right index finger and is still too sore to grip a bat. He's unlikely to need a trip to the disabled list, but it sounds like he'll probably need a few more days of rest.

Neil Walker had the soft cast removed from his right hand Monday and tried to take some swings in the batting cage.

Walker suffered a deep cut on his right index finger during Friday's game and received six stitches. The Pirates don't plan to place him on the disabled list, but it may be a few more days before he's ready to return to the lineup.

Neil Walker won't have the stitches removed from his injured right index finger until next week.

But he has been cleared to play with the stitches in and should return to the Pirates' starting lineup at some point over the next few days. Walker suffered a gash on his right index finger Friday when he was stepped on at second base by Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma.
