Richard (shoulder) is looking to rebound after missing nearly all of the 2014 season following his recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. Richard is a longshot to make the Pirates, at least out of camp, but he is one of only two lefties (along with Jeff Locke) in the mix. Pittsburgh has helped to rehab starters such as Francisco Liriano and Vance Worley, and will look to do the same with Richard. He posted a 3.75 ERA in 201.2 IP in 2010 but hasn't been healthy since.
