COLIN MORAN FIRST BASEMAN - NO TEAM
FIRST BASEMAN - NO TEAM
Not starting Tuesday Moran is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
Impact Moran appears to be in a platoon with John Nogowski at first base. In the four games since Moran returned from a broken wrist Friday, he's started against two righties while Nogowski has started against two lefties. With J.A. Happ starting for the Cardinals on Tuesday, Nogowski will get the nod, but Moran should return against righty Adam Wainwright on Wednesday.

Returns from injured list Moran (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday but will be on the bench for Friday's game against Cincinnati.
Impact The injury had kept Moran out of action since late June, but he's been deemed ready to go following six rehab games despite the fact that he went just 2-for-16 at the plate in those contests. He'll sit against lefty Wade Miley in his first game back on the roster, with John Nogowski starting at first base.

Rehab assignment kicks off Thursday Moran (wrist) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Moran is ready to complete the final step in his recovery process from a fractured left wrist, an injury he sustained when he was hit by a pitch June 28 in Colorado. The Pirates will most likely keep Moran on the rehab assignment through the weekend before potentially activating him ahead of the team's upcoming series in Milwaukee, which begins Monday. Once reinstated, Moran will likely take over as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman, displacing John Nogowski.

The infielder has been on the injured list since July 1 due to a fractured left wrist, but he could rejoin the Pirates shortly after he's cleared to begin a rehab stint.

Progresses to batting practice Moran (wrist) took batting practice on the field Tuesday for the first time since suffering his left wrist fracture, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact The next steps for Moran figure to be live batting practice and then a rehab assignment, which could be fairly lengthy considering he's been out since late June. Though the 28-year-old's return still appears at least a couple weeks away, Tuesday's news is certainly encouraging, as his swing figures to be the thing most affected by a wrist injury.
