An examination of the right arm of Pirates pitcher Jeanmar Gomez revealed no ligament damage, MLB.com reports. Gomez was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a forearm injury.
"We'll shut him down for a few days," manager Clint Hurdle told MLB.com. "He's actually going to fly back here and join us tomorrow, won't throw for we'll see how many days. It could be three, could be four, flat-ground, bullpen. This will give us an opportunity to get him out on a rehab where he can pitch in an environment, where if there's a problem, it could not be as challenging as trying to get him back engaged here."
Gomez lasted just one inning in his most recent start before being removed with the injury.
