CHICAGO — Bryan Reynolds, the minor-league outfielder acquired by the Pirates in the Andrew McCutchen trade this offseason, was evaluated by the team's hand surgeon in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, per Todd Tomczyk, the Pirates' director of sports medicine.
Reynolds, 23, was placed on the minor-league disabled list Tuesday after suffering what was called a wrist sprain in a game for Double-A Altoona. The switch-hitter went 3 for 13 with two doubles, a triple and two RBIs in four games for the Curve. Tomczyk said the Pirates will have more information on the injury in the coming days.
Additionally, right-handed reliever A.J. Schugel, a member of the Pirates' 40-man roster, is expected to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Bradenton on Thursday. Schugel, 28, experienced right shoulder discomfort during his first spring training outing in February and has not pitched in a game since.
