Ross Ohlendorf became the Brewers' latest victim on Tuesday, allowing seven runs (four earned) on 11 hits in five innings of a Pirates loss.

He struck out three and walked two. Now 1-2 with a 7.24 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 9/7 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings since coming off the disabled list, Ohlendorf is looking like he can be safely ignored in NL-only leagues.

Pirates recalled RHP Ross Ohlendorf from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Ohlendorf will rejoin the Pittsburgh starting rotation on Tuesday night against the Brewers. He hasn't pitched in the majors since early April due to a strained shoulder.

Ross Ohlendorf won't be brought up until Tuesday.

Ohlendorf was originally scheduled to start one half of Monday's doubleheader against the Brewers, but the Pirates have pushed that outing back to Tuesday night. The 29-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched in the major leagues since early April due to a shoulder strain.

Pirates activated RHP Ross Ohlendorf from the 60-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

The Bucs simply had no room on their 25-man roster for Ohlendorf, who has been sidelined since April 9 with a strained right shoulder. If he's not recalled sooner, he'll certainly be amongst the Pirates' call-ups when rosters are expanded in September.

Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said that a decision about Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) will likely be made closer to Sunday.

Sunday is Ohlendorf's scheduled day to pitch, leading to speculation that he could start against the Brewers. For what it's worth, Sunday's starter is listed as TBA right now. Ohlendorf, 29, has been sidelined since early April with a shoulder injury. He has a 3.63 ERA and 7/7 K/BB ratio in 17 1/3 innings over three rehab starts with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) could possibly be activated from the disabled list to start for the Pirates on Sunday.

Ohlendorf recently finished his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis, giving up four runs on eight hits and a walk over 6 1/3 innings Tuesday. The Pirats currently have Sunday's starter listed as TBD, and the right-hander would obviously be lined up for that outing. He's been sidelined since early April with a shoulder issue.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) will make one more rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis before the Pirates decide what to do with him.

Ohlendorf holds a 3.42 ERA over five rehab starts to this point and appears to be totally over his shoulder ailment. But, the Pirates simply don't know what role he will fill. It's possible he'll remain at Triple-A to provide starting depth, or he could be promoted and serve as a long man out of the bullpen. It's unlikely he'll join the rotation.

The Pirates remain unsure of when Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) will rejoin the club.

Ohlendorf has made five minor-league rehab appearances, but the Bucs have no place to put him on their 25-man roster. Whenever he's finally summoned back to the big leagues, he'll pitch out of the bullpen.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) is expected to make another minor league rehab start with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Ohlendorf has been on the disabled list since the second week of the season with a right shoulder strain. He allowed one run over three innings in his most recent rehab outing last Friday. Assuming all goes well with his next outing, he could be activated from the disabled list. The Pirates haven't said whether he will return as a starter or a reliever, though it's a pretty good bet he's bullpen-bound.

Ohlendorf has a 4.26 ERA and 9/2 K/BB ratio over three rehab starts between High-A Bradenton and Double-A Altoona. He appears ready for activation from the DL, but the Pirates don't have room in their rotation right now. They're expected to announced their future plans for the righty within the next 24 hours.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) gave up two earned runs on five hits over 4 2/3 innings Sunday in his latest minor league rehab start with Double-A Altoona.

Ohlendorf has a 4.26 ERA and 9/2 K/BB ratio over three rehab starts between High-A Bradenton and Double-A Altoona. He is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday before being reevaluated. It's possible he could return as a reliever.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) will make his next minor league rehab start Sunday with Double-A Altoona.

Ohlendorf allowed four runs in eight innings over his first two rehab starts with High-A Bradenton. There isn't a sense of urgency to bring him back with the Pirates' rotation pitching so well, so he'll likely make at least a couple more starts in the minors.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with High-A Bradenton Thursday, tossing four shutout innings while allowing just two hits, no walks and striking out three.

Not bad. Ohlendorf will need a few more rehab starts before he'll be available to rejoin the Pirates, though he's no given to slide back into the rotation with the current starting five throwing well.

Ohlendorf will continue performing similar workouts at the Pirates' spring training complex until he is cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. The rehabbing right-hander should be ready to rock by the end of July.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) has begun throwing simulated games at the Pirates' spring training complex.

Ohlendorf was transferred to the 60-day disabled list at the end of May and probably won't be ready to return to the major leagues until late July. "We ideally want to get him almost 60, 65, maybe even 70, 75 pitches before we start the clock in a rehab [assignment]," said Pirates GM Neal Huntington. "We're being ultra-conservative with Ross, but everything's going along fine."

Pirates transferred RHP Ross Ohlendorf from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the promotion of minor league catcher Dusty Brown and infield prospect Josh Harrison. Ohlendorf is still making his way back from shoulder soreness and probably won't be ready to contribute until late June.

Beat writer Rob Biertempfel suggests that Ross Ohlendorf could be moved to the 60-day disabled list to make room on the 40-man roster for INF Andy Marte.

Marte will likely be called up with Ryan Doumit and Steve Pearce both expected to be placed on the disabled list. Ohlendorf isn't going to be ready for major league action before June 8th anyways (60 days from when he was originally put on the 15-day D.L.), so moving him to the 60-day D.L. allows the team to avoid removing an additional player from the 40-man roster when they recall Marte.

Ohlendorf has also been playing catch from 120 feet without any issues with his shoulder. He experienced a setback earlier this month but has been doing well since resuming his throwing program. He'll continue to throw bullpen sessions, with a rehab assignment likely not far away.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) played catch Sunday and Monday from 75 feet with no pain or discomfort.

Ohlendorf is planning to begin 90-foot throwing sessions on Wednesday. On the disabled list since early April with a right posterior shoulder strain, he's hoping to return to the major leagues in early June.

Ross Ohlendorf (shoulder) threw 30 pitches in live batting practice Tuesday.

If all goes well during his next throwing session Friday, he will likely go out on a minor league rehab assignment. Ohlendorf, who went on the DL with a right shoulder posterior strain, has used the time off to move his arm slot down in his delivery.
