Steady progress for Kang in injury rehab

BRADENTON, Fla. -- While resting and recovering from surgery that ended his 2015 season, Jung Ho Kang filled his downtime with television. As he settled in for an offseason split between Pittsburgh and Pirate City, Kang dove into "The Walking Dead," "Breaking Bad" and "Entourage."

Kang is back on his feet now, steadily working his way back from a fractured tibial plateau and a torn meniscus in his left leg. As the Pirates report to their Spring Training complex this week, they'll find that Kang has come a long way in a relatively short time.
