Impact Borucki is active for the big club for the first time since early April. He was initially placed on the IL with triceps inflammation before he was later diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in his wrist. He began a rehab assignment in late June, only to be pulled off of it shortly before the 30-day window ended when he experienced a setback. Borucki resumed the minor-league assignment Aug. 17 and looked sharp during his latest stint at Triple-A Indianapolis, covering five innings and allowing one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out eight. Given his long layoff, Borucki is likely to be eased back into the Pittsburgh bullpen in lower-leverage situations initially.
