The Pirates have announced that Wandy Rodriguez experienced a further setback as he experienced pain during his simulated game today. He will meet with Dr. James Andrews next week.
Rodriguez had a 6 – 4 record in 12 starts while posting a 3.59 ERA with 46 strikeouts and 12 walks. He was forced from his start in Atlanta on June 5th with left forearm tightness.
It is unlikely, now, that Rodriguez will be back on the Pirates roster this season.
Other Injury News: Jason Grilli threw 25 pitches off of a mound today in San Francisco which included mostly fastballs with his slider mixed in at times. He says that he has been pain free and hopes to be game-ready by the end of the month.
