Pirates considering options for Friday's start

PITTSBURGH -- Just when it appeared the Pirates' pitching plans were falling into place, two injuries have sent them back to the drawing board.

With Tyler Glasnow on the 15-day disabled list and Chad Kuhl unlikely to pitch this week due to right triceps discomfort, Pittsburgh has not yet announced a starter for Friday's series opener in Milwaukee.

Here's what manager Clint Hurdle did reveal on Tuesday: Gerrit Cole will start Wednesday, Jameson Taillon will start Saturday and Francisco Liriano on Sunday. Left-hander Jeff Locke will remain in the bullpen, at least through the weekend series at Miller Park.
