The Pittsburgh Pirates (21-16) are taking on the Colorado Rockies (15-22) on Wednesday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series. First pitch will be at 12:35 PM.
Rich Hill (3-3, 4.54) will be on the mound today against Antonio Senzatela (0-1, 1.80), who is making his second start of the season.
The Pirates have an off-day tomorrow, followed by a three-game series in Baltimore against the Orioles.
On the minor league side, both Altoona and Greensboro have 11 AM start times. More on the Altoona game just below.
The Pirates gave some medical updates to the media today. Nothing unknown really, but news here on Vince Velasquez, Wil Crowe and Blake Cederlind
Updates from Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk:
Velasquez will throw live BP early next week. Optimistic he’ll miss the minimum.
Crowe had PRP injection 2 weeks ago. He’s halfway through 4 weeks of not throwing.
Cederlind to start rehab work tonight or tomorrow.

Here’s some news for today, starting with a pitching prospect making his return to the mound.
**Jared Jones is back with Altoona and starting today. Check back on that link later as well, as any minor league moves from today will be added there.
**The schedules have been released for the Florida Complex League and Dominican Summer League. Less than a month before they get into action.
**Last night’s Prospect Watch, headlined by the big day from Henry Davis.
**Pirates lost last night with two new players in the lineup, and it wasn’t pretty.
UMPIRE SCORECARD
Did MLB put out a memo to do a better job in the Pirates games? This is three straight excellent performances behind the plate. Just four misses and all were close to the zone.
