CHICAGO -- Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang is on his way back to the Majors.
Kang, who hasn't played for the Pirates in nearly two years due to legal trouble and injuries, will join Pittsburgh this weekend in Cincinnati and be active for the final three games of the season. If Kang gets into a game at Great American Ball Park, it will be his first Major League appearance since Oct. 2, 2016.
Kang has been playing games in the fall instructional league in Bradenton, Fla.
