Worth noting

• Gerrit Cole was still in line to throw 25 to 35 pitches in a bullpen session on Sunday. Should that go well, Hurdle said Cole could be in line to throw a simulated game on Wednesday. Cole is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list (shoulder fatigue) on Thursday, but the Pirates will wait on him a little longer.

"If everything stays the way it is, we can have him back a few days after that," Hurdle said.
