When can we expect Harrison and Musgrove to be back in the lineup. What about AJ?
Bill Brink
12:36
Harrison said Monday that he won't be in Altoona long, so expect him back relatively soon. Musgrove is going to make one more rehab start and if that goes well he could make his Pirates debut next week. Schugel is shut down because of continued shoulder pain. Director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk told reporters this morning that Schugel got a PRP injection and will take two weeks off.

What place are the Pirates?

They're tied for first with Milwaukee.

It’s confusing why would they demote Kingham if he played so well, all the way to DOUBLE AA? Wouldn’t it be more reasonable if it was TRIPLE AAA?
Bill Brink
12:37
They needed Kingham to start Monday so he'd be on regular rest for Saturday, when they need him for a spot start, and Indy was off Mondya.

So are we fairly certain then that when Musgrove is ready, Kingham goes back down? What, if anything, could Kingham show them in his next start to keep? Anything short of a no hitter, he goes back down?
Bill Brink

That's the most likely scenario. Not the only one, but the most likely one.

Who else do you see getting a potential call up if you had to guess? Their top 5-6 prospects are deep.
Bill Brink

Meadows, Kramer and Newman could all come up. Those would be the most likely I see.
Lightning round. Go.

How many HR's for Osuna today? I say two.
Bill Brink

He does seem to take advantage of his chances, doesn't he?
That's it for today, thanks for all the great questions! We'll do it again next week.
