Pirates placed LHP Paul Maholm on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 18, with a strained left shoulder. This means the Pirates will need two extra starters next week. They were already planning to call up Ross Ohlendorf to start one game of Monday's doubleheader. Now they may need Brad Lincoln to help fill in for Maholm. The hope is that Maholm will be back early next month. He needs to come back healthy in order to get his $9.75 million option for next year exercised.
