Jack not back until May

As you read here last week (see Blog post "Jack won't be back soon") shortstop Jack Wilson won't be back until at least May 1, if not later.

Pirates manager John Russell said in his office today before the Pirates series opener with the Marlins that Wilson has hit a setback and won't start playing minor league games in Florida until sometime next week. Wilson is beginning his rehabilitation at the Pirates spring training complex in Bradenton, Fla.

Russell said Wilson did some running this morning and felt "some tightness" in the calf. Russell said it's not a major concern, but it did push back Wilson's return to the majors a bit.
