BRADENTON, Fla. -- When Joe Musgrove had abdominal surgery in October, the Pirates stated that the right-hander would be "on or close to a regular schedule" for Spring Training. That forecast turned out to be true as Pittsburgh's pitchers and catchers officially began their spring workouts on Wednesday.
Musgrove isn't yet throwing full-intensity bullpen sessions after undergoing surgery in mid-October to repair his abdominal wall and heal a stress reaction on the front of his pelvic bone, but he is done rehabbing. He'll work out, perform drills and throw with the rest of Pittsburgh's pitchers at Pirate City.
