Mayza continues to progress in his rehab, having been throwing for about a month. His next key milestone is to throw live batting practice sessions by the third week of August, with the goal of returning to pitch for the Pirates again this season.

Pirates left-hander Tim Mayza (shoulder) is throwing from 120 feet with good velocity and intensity, as per senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk.

Mayza appears to be a ways away from a big-league return but seems to be on the right track. He was impactful when healthy, posting a 2.89 ERA across seven outings with the Bucs before hitting the IL.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have transferred Tim Mayza from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL.

Mayza's move to the 60-day IL was expected after Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday the left-hander would be shut down from throwing for at least six weeks. His IL placement opened a roster spot for Matt Gorski, who briefly joined the Pirates before swapping places with Jack Suwinski.

Tim Mayza has been shut down for the next six weeks.

Mayza landed on the injured list last weekend. He will likely be sidelined until June or July.
