Gorzelanny out, Wilson has setback

Pirates pitcher Tom Gorzelanny will miss his next scheduled start Tuesday.

Gorzelanny has been dealing with a strained lower back for the last couple of starts. The injury explains somewhat as to why Gorzelanny has been so erratic the last month. In his last four starts spanning 19 innings, Gorzelanny has allowed 11 runs on 13 hits but walked 20.

He is expected to start Saturday at home against Atlanta.

Also, shortstop Jack Wilson had a setback during his rehabilitation in Florida and will not begin playing in minor league games in Class AA Altoona until some time late next week.

Wilson has missed all but three of the Pirates first 30 games because of his calf injury.
