Tabata OK, Grabow to WBC

Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata had a MRI done on his sore right shoulder Monday but appears to be ok, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

"He does have some mild rotator cuff inflammation, but is able to return to activities as (the pain is) tolerated,' Pirates general manager Neal Huntington told the Tribune-Review.

Tabata, acquired from the Yankees in the Xavier Nady-Damaso Marte deal, is 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and three walks in three games this spring.

Also, Pirates reliever John Grabow has been named to replace Angels reliever Brian Fuentes on Team USA's roster for at least the first round of the World Baseball Classic.
