A.J. Burnett suffers Grade 1 calf tear
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com

Pirates starting pitcher A.J. Burnett suffered a Grade 1 calf tear and has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. 

Burnett is in a walking boot and has been unable to put weight on his leg as a result. Burnett said he hopes "it's not a six-week thing," but there is no clear timetable for his return. It's likely he will miss a month, if not more, with the injury.

A.J. Burnett cruises through win over Cubs
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

Pirates starting pitcher A.J. Burnett was in peak form for much of Saturday's game against the Cubs, and the one mistake he made late did not prove costly, in a 6-2 win.

Burnett tossed eight scoreless innings to open the game, then allowed two runs in the ninth inning on a single and a two-run home run by Alfonso Soriano. He limited the Cubs to just the two runs on four hits and three walks, in his longest outing of the season.

Burnett struck out five batters while throwing 77 of 112 pitches for strikes. He pushed his record to 4-6 on the season, while lowering his ERA to 3.12. He is scheduled to make his next start Thursday against the Giants.
