Catcher Francisco Cervelli is returning to the Pittsburgh Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers after missing Pittsburgh's past 31 games following surgery on a broken hamate bone in his left hand.
The Pirates also activated right-handed starting pitcher Jameson Taillon from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday in an expected move. He was already listed as the starting pitcher for Tuesday night's game against the Brewers.
Cervelli, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on June 11, went 4-for-10 with three walks and an RBI in three Triple-A rehab games before being recalled.
