Pirates manager Clint Hurdle discusses Jung Ho Kang participating in limited practice as he recovers from a leg injuryBRADENTON, Fla. -- Jung Ho Kang is doing more work more often this week, Pirates head athletic trainer Todd Tomczyk said, but he's not yet ready to test his surgically repaired left knee by running the bases.
In his weekly meeting with reporters, Tomczyk said the Pirates' plan is for Kang to "increase his frequency and volume of baseball activities" this week.
"On-field activities, fielding, hitting," Tomczyk added. "At this juncture, no baserunning."
