Connor Joe - Ready for start of seasonJoe isn't included in the lineup for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, but he's considered good to go after being hit on the left hand by a pitch in Sunday's 8-1 l...
ImpactAccording to Stumpf, the pitch that hit Joe actually struck him on the hand guard, so his removal from Sunday's contest was strictly for precautionary purposes. Joe may enter the lineup in Tuesday's spring finale versus Minnesota, but even if he doesn't, he'll be in line for a spot on the Pirates' Opening Day roster as a reserve corner outfielder/first baseman.

Termarr Johnson - Running againJohnson (hamstring) is in the midst of the second week of his running progression, but the Pirates believe he may need longer than his initial projected recovery timeline of 4-to-6...
ImpactStumpf notes that Johnson hasn't hit any roadblocks in his recovery from the right hamstring strain he suffered in late February, but his season debut is expected to be pushed back further because the Pirates identified aspects of his running mechanics that they were wanting to fix. The No. 4 overall selection in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, Johnson finished his first professional season at Single-A Bradenton and will either report to that affiliate once healthy or make the jump to High-A Greensboro.

Johan Oviedo - Looks on track for rotation spotOviedo is expected to open the season as the Pirates' No. 5 starter with JT Brubaker (forearm) set to go on the 15-day injured list, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
ImpactPittsburgh has yet to provide a timeline for Brubaker to return from what's described as right forearm discomfort, but Oviedo should be poised to make at least two turns through the rotation to begin the campaign. Though he had already been in good position to make the Opening Day roster as a reliever before Brubaker picked up the injury, Oviedo should be equipped to handle something close to a starter's workload in his first outing of the regular season after he covered four innings (55 pitches) in his most recent Grapefruit League appearance Thursday. He'll start the Pirates' spring finale Tuesday versus the Twins and will have another opportunity to build up his pitch count.
