AJ Burnett‘s return to the Pirates is right around the corner. After being placed on the disabled list in July, the veteran in his last season is set to make his return to the team in the middle of September. Since he went down on July 31st, the Pirates have gone 20-11, including a big surge in the middle of August. Unfortunately, however, the Pirates haven’t been able to gain ground on the Cardinals in the NL Central. As winning the division is the main goal for the Pirates right now, Burnett’s return is on every fan’s mind, as every reinforcement that could help this team is invaluable.
