CINCINNATI — Working alphabetically through the list of injured Pirates players Wednesday, head athletic trainer Todd Tomczyk had his work cut out for him. There currently are three Pirates on the major league disabled list, and a handful of others receiving regular treatment.
Here’s the latest on the list:
• Antonio Bastardo (left quad strain): Bastardo has resumed playing catch on flat ground at the Pirates facility in Bradenton, Fla. He will step back on a mound Friday and be reassessed.
• Francisco Cervelli (right foot discomfort): Cervelli is out of the starting lineup Wednesday for the fourth day in a row, though he took swings in the batting cages.
