COLIN MORAN NEWS

Returns from IL The Pirates reinstated Moran (groin) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pittsburgh optioned utility man Cole Tucker to Triple-A Indianapolis to create room on the active roster for Moran, who has been on the shelf since May 9 due to left groin discomfort. Moran looked healthy during his three-game rehab assignment at Indianapolis this week, going 3-for-9 with a home run, a double, six RBI and two runs. He should immediately step back in as the Pirates' everyday first baseman.

Not ready for return General manager Ben Cherington said that Moran (groin) continues to progress but has yet to run the bases, 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

Impact The general manager said the team will track Moran's baseball activities over the next few days and then determine whether a rehab assignment is necessary. "Once you get past 10 days, two weeks, it's at least worth considering a rehab assignment," Cherington said. "We haven't made that determination yet."

Labeled day-to-day Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczak said Wednesday that Moran (groin) is "days away" from resuming game action, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Tomczak noted that Moran hasn't advanced to "high-speed" baserunning at this stage of his rehab program, but the 28-year-old has been able to field grounders, play catch and swing a bat. He could have a shot at returning from the 10-day injured list in the final week of May.
