Priester (lat) completed a bullpen session Tuesday and could face live hitters next, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Priester has thrown off a mound twice since going on the 15-day IL on June 6, and assuming he didn't sustain a setback Tuesday, should face batters soon. While the 24-year-old should be activated from the 15-day injured list later this month, it's unclear if he'll stick with the Pirates or get optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis.
