The Pirates reinstated Borucki (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki is active for the big club for the first time since early April. He was initially placed on the IL with triceps inflammation before he was later diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in his wrist. He began a rehab assignment in late June, only to be pulled off of it shortly before the 30-day window ended when he experienced a setback. Borucki resumed the minor-league assignment Aug. 17 and looked sharp during his latest stint at Triple-A Indianapolis, covering five innings and allowing one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out eight. Given his long layoff, Borucki is likely to be eased back into the Pittsburgh bullpen in lower-leverage situations initially.

Borucki (wrist) joined the Pirates in Cleveland on Saturday, and he could be added to the expanded 28-man roster Sunday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki has been dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome in his left wrist since early April. He began his rehab assignment Aug. 17, and he has given up a run in just one of his five outings. Major-league rosters expand to 28 players Sunday, and Borucki and left-hander Colin Holderman (wrist) are both expected to be taken off the IL.

Borucki (wrist) will start his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki, who has been on the injured list since early April due to carpal tunnel syndrome in his left wrist, was shut down from his throwing program at the beginning of August after suffering a setback. He appears to have recovered enough to return to a live setting, and the hope for the 30-year-old is that he'll be available out of Pittsburgh's bullpen for the tail end of the regular season.

Borucki (wrist) will not throw for the next 3-to-5 days, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki was pulled off his rehab assignment last Friday after suffering a setback in his recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome, and it will be another several days before he's able to resume his throwing program. It's unclear how far away he is from pitching in rehab games again, but the Pirates are still optimistic he'll return to the club sometime in September.

Borucki (wrist) had his rehab assignment paused Friday and he's currently being re-assessed, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki has made 10 rehab appearances, yielding seven runs across 9.2 innings. However, he may have suffered a setback in his recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome. A timeline for Borucki to return to Triple-A Indianapolis could become clear after his re-evaluation.

Borucki (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki graduated to facing live hitters over the weekend and will now head to the minor leagues after experiencing no issues following his latest session of live BP. The 30-year-old southpaw has been on the injured list since early April and is aiming to return to Pittsburgh's bullpen ahead of the All-Star break.

Borucki (wrist) is set to throw live batting practice Friday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki has thrown three bullpen sessions, the most recent of which was 30 pitches Monday. Assuming Friday goes according to plan, Borucki is expected to begin a rehab assignment and could return prior to the All-Star break.

Borucki (wrist) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The session marked Borucki's first time throwing off a slope since hitting the injured list. He has additional bullpens set for Saturday and Tuesday, after which he may be ready to begin a rehab assignment.

The Pirates transferred Borucki (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old southpaw will give up his 40-man roster spot for Justin Bruihl, who signed with the Pirates on Thursday. Borucki's move to the 60-day IL won't affect the duration of his stint on the injured list, which began in early April, and he remains without a return timeline since being diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in May.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Borucki (wrist) will be shut down for several weeks after being diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Borucki initially went on the injured list in early April with what was called left triceps inflammation at the time. He had a setback last month when he tried to throw and now has a new diagnosis. With an open-ended timetable, Borucki is a candidate to move to the 60-day injured list when/if the Pirates need to open up a spot on the 40-man roster.
