Share: Pirates | Russell Martin playing Tue, 14 May 2013 13:11:54 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates C Russell Martin (neck) is back in the lineup for just the second time Tuesday, May 14, since May 5.

Share: Pirates | Jason Grilli dealing with personal issue Mon, 13 May 2013 14:09:52 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates RP Jason Grilli is reportedly dealing with a family issue, and he's not expected to be available to pitch Monday, May 13. Fantasy Tip: It's unclear how long Grilli will be out, or if the team will place him on the bereavement list. If you're desperate for saves, don't wait around to find out. Add Mark Melancon now. Share: Pirates | Jason Grilli may not be available Mon, 13 May 2013 13:05:52 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates RP Jason Grilli isn't expected to be available to pitch Monday, May 13, because he was seen leaving the clubhouse in street clothes. Fantasy Tip: Grilli doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, but it's worth monitoring this situation. If there's a save situation tonight, expect Mark Melancon to get first crack at shutting the game down. Should Grilli miss extended time, Melancon would become a hot pickup in all leagues. Share: Pirates | Russell Martin out again Mon, 13 May 2013 11:46:16 -0700 Pittsburgh Pirates C Russell Martin (neck) is out of the lineup again Monday, May 13, but the team is hoping he can return Tuesday, May 14. Fantasy Tip: Mike McKenry is getting all the playing time with Martin hurting. Tony Sanchez, the team's former first-round pick, was on call last weekend in case Martin needed to be placed on the disabled list. It looks like Martin will avoid a trip to the DL, so sit tight for now. Share:  |
