Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton will make one final Triple-A rehab outing on Tuesday before rejoining the big-league rotation, reports MLB.com on Saturday.
Morton, who is working his way back from labrum surgery, owns a 0.64 ERA through 14 rehab innings. He hasn't appeared in a big-league game since Sept. 16.
He is slated to return May 25-27 against Miami.
"We want to make sure Charlie is taken care of, that he's given every opportunity to be as sharp as he can be when he comes in," said Hurdle, who implied the staff has already decided how to work him back in and does not need the extra time to make that decision.
"We have a good idea of what we want to do," manager Clint Hurdle said.
