Jose Tabata (quad) jogged, threw and hit balls in a batting cage Sunday and had no issues.
Tabata has been on the 15-day disabled list since last Tuesday with a left quadriceps strain. If everything continues going smoothly, he could return to the Pirates' starting lineup right after the All-Star break. The 22-year-old has three homers and 14 steals in 71 games.
