Just one start removed from coming off the disabled list, Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Charlie Morton is facing another setback.
“Charlie Morton experienced increased discomfort near the end of his last start and again during his bullpen session yesterday,” general manager Neal Huntington said via press release. “Charlie will have a follow up exam next week and a course of action will be determined after that exam.”
Morton, who was activated from the DL last week after missing almost a month with a sports hernia, was slated to pitch Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers, though that start has now been turned over to left-hander Vance Worley.
