• The Bucs have finalized their starting rotation coming out of the All-Star break, but manager Clint Hurdle withheld announcing it until all of the involved pitchers have been told. The manager is expected to reveal the rotation, starting with Friday night's game at PNC Park against the Rockies, on Sunday.

• Clint Barmes, on the DL with a severe strain of his left groin, rejoined the club Saturday to continue getting treatment on his way to his Colorado home for the All-Star break.

• Entering Saturday's games, Andrew McCutchen had 25 percent more total bases since June 1 than the National League runner-up. McCutchen had 104 to Anthony Rizzo's 83.
