Day 16 of Pirates spring training: news and notes

• Joe Beimel’s will resume throwing on Tuesday after feeling pain near his elbow.

“Since [Sunday], it’s becoming less and less to the point where now I really don’t even feel it,” said Beimel, who received treatment on his arm Monday morning. “I don’t really have to build myself back up because I’ve been throwing for quite a while. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

• Evan Meek and Joe Beimel are scheduled to throw bullpen sessions today. Although there is no time table, neither are expected to be out much longer.
• The Bucs will face the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday at McKechenie Field. Ross Ohlendorf will start for the Pirates followed by Tony Watson, Joel Hanrahan, Jose Veras, Mike Crotta and Chris Leroux.
• Scott Olsen threw a bullpen session on Monday and is scheduled to throw another on Wednesday.

“My leg feels fine,” Olsen said. “No pain at all.”
