When the Pirates optioned Jason Rogers to Triple-A on Wednesday night, it looked like Jung-ho Kang was set to return. Kang needs to return this weekend, as his 20 day rehab time is almost up, so this isn’t a big surprise. The news was confirmed by Francisco Cervelli today, who snapped a picture of himself with Kang traveling for the weekend series.

Kang didn’t have a great rehab in Triple-A.
