Jared Jones could be back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this week, and that creates one of the most important pitching decisions of the season. DiNardo and Ryan discuss Ben Cherington’s latest comments, Jones throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, whether he returns directly to the rotation, who could lose a starting spot, and how his return could impact the bullpen.

The guys also lightly recap the Toronto series before looking ahead to the Memorial Day matchup with the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park. With Chicago struggling badly entering the series, this is a spot where the Pirates need to capitalize at home.
