Chris Archer (thumb) to return for Pirates Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Chris Archer (thumb) will rejoin the rotation on Wednesday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Archer has been on the injured list since April 27 due to inflammation in the thumb on his throwing hand. He owns a 1-2 record through five starts.

The 30-year-old right-hander spun a 4.33 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and 12 walks across 27 innings before hitting the IL.
