The second game of this Pirates/Phillies series comes with an unwanted surprise: Brandon Inge's rehab assignment is over and he'll be joining the Pirates in Philadelphia tonight. And also starting at third base against Cole Hamels. Inge went 9-for-60 on his rehab stint and he hasn't had a season with an OPS+ of over 100 since 2005. His glove is good, but there's just...

Inge wants to keeping playing

BRADENTON, Fla. -- No matter what his numbers might say, Brandon Inge isn't ready to call it a career. Inge, who turns 36 on May 19, is batting just .156 with no home runs and no RBIs in 12 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates this spring. Perhaps Inge is clinging to the fact that he did have some success after the Detroit Tigers released him last April. He joined the Oakland A...
