Jeff Locke expects to rejoin the Pirates' rotation next Tuesday. Locke will not make his scheduled start on Sunday after being sent to the minors Wednesday, but he indicated that the move was less of a demotion and more a means to get him some extra rest. "I don't think anything is going to change," he said. "This is just a way to give me a blow." The Pirates have yet to announce who will start on Sunday in Locke's place.
