Bucs Make First Move

The Pirates made the first of what will probably be five to seven roster moves over the next six weeks (really not the first with Pearce already up and a bevy of pitching moves).  This one really doesn't do much because it has Jack Taschner going on the DL with tightness in his left hamstring as Brendan Donnelly gets activated.

Who knows if Taschner is hurt, but it gives Karstens and Burress a reprieve for a bit longer, and maybe someone else goes on the DL between now and then.  Lincoln, Walker, Tabata and Pedro still on hold.

UPDATE: I had forgotten, but it has been pointed out in other threads, that Karstens is out of options.  He cleared waivers during the offseason and was removed from the 40-man.  But, he obviously has been reinstated since, and as such would have to clear waivers to go to Indy.  Taschner's "injury" is clearly just buying time, I'm sure he's fine.  The Bucs get two more weeks to get Lincoln ready and at that point everyone knows a lot more about Burress (and Morton) and can make an even more informed decision.
