Neither side wants to come out and say what Jared Jones' role with the Pirates will be. Colin thinks Jones will be a starter, but be on a pitch count. Carmen Mlodzinski is the most likely to go to the bullpen. Colin thinks Jones will be activated right around May 26 when Jones is able to come on the injured list. Joey Bart has a foot infection and is too early to tell what the timeline will be. Endy Rodriguez could play for a bit.
