Pirates' Jun-Seok Shim: Recovering from ankle issue

Shim is recovering from an ankle injury, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

The prized international signee would have been held back in extended spring training anyway to manage his workload, but he was dealing with an ankle injury when he showed up to spring training, so he is behind the Pirates' other young hurlers. Shin, who turns 19 this week, should spend the bulk of the year at Single-A once he's fully up to speed.
