Latest news
Bachar will start Wednesday against the Cardinals in a bullpen game for the Pirates, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.
For the second time in four days, Bachar will work as an opener for Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old righty gave up one run on three hits during his lone inning of work against the Royals on Sunday, and he'll likely be pulled after pitching an inning or two against St. Louis.

Bachar will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher in a bullpen game Sunday against the Royals, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Bachar will be making his 11th start of the season but hasn't covered more than three innings in any of those prior 10 appearances and will be in line for an abbreviated workload once again Sunday. After tossing three scoreless innings in a long-relief appearance against the Brewers on Tuesday, Antwone Kelly could be called upon to work multiple frames out of the bullpen once Bachar exits the game.

Bachar will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game versus the Brewers, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Bachar will draw his sixth start since he landed in Pittsburgh at the trade deadline. He's covered at least 1.2 innings and as much as three frames in his first five opener assignments for the Pirates, so a multi-inning effort Tuesday is likely. Antwone Kelly, Brandon Eisert and Khristian Curtis could all be candidates to cover multiple frames once Bachar exits the game.

Bachar will start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.
Pittsburgh is going to rely on its bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest, and Bachar will begin the game on the mound for what will be his ninth start of the season. The 31-year-old righty has tossed at least two innings in eight of his 11 appearances since the beginning of August, so he'll likely be called upon to provide more length than the typical opening pitcher.

Bachar will serve as the opening pitcher in Thursday's game against the Giants, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Bachar will draw his eighth opening assignment of the season after giving up just two earned runs in 9.2 frames across his last five outings. He tossed 28 pitches in 2.1 innings during his most recent appearance Saturday and will likely have a similar workload Thursday before handing the game over to Carmen Mlodzinski.

Bachar will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher for Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.
Bachar tossed one inning and 32 pitches in his most recent appearance in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to Los Angeles, so he'll probably be capped at around two or three frames while he opens the series finale. Carmen Mlodzinski is expected to work in bulk relief behind Bachar.
