Good news for Snell, Dumatrait

Pirates pitchers Phil Dumatrait and Ian Snell each had medical procedures performed today and both came out with positive results.

Dumatrait had an MRI performed by team doctor Dr. Patrick DeMeo and the and the test revealed bursitis in his left shoulder.
With rest, the Pirates feel that Dumatrait should be able to come off the disabled list as scheduled on July 5.

Snell had an MRA performed today at Allegheny General Hospital and the tests revealed medial epicondylitis and no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament.

It very possible, almost likely, that Snell will miss his next scheduled start Friday at home against Tampa Bay. He is listed as day to day. The Pirates are hopeful that Snell will not need to go on the disabled list.
