The Pittsburgh Pirates are preparing to welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to PNC Park for a a four game weekend wrap around series that will begin tonight and end on Monday. The Pirates will send Jameson Taillon to the mound tonight, Jeff Locke tomorrow night, and Francisco Liriano on Monday night. However, the Pirates have yet to announce a starting pitcher for Sunday night.
The reason for this is because this was originally Juan Nicasio‘s spot in the rotation. Nicasio, however, was placed on the restricted list last week and has yet to return to the team.
