Lincoln impressed in a spot start Saturday, giving up two runs over six innings. He'll return to a 3.82 ERA and 66/14 K/BB ratio at Indianapolis but should get another shot with the big club at some point.

Brad Lincoln is likely to be called up on July 2 to start one of the games of the Pirates' doubleheader against the Nationals.
Lincoln has pitched quite well at Triple-A Indianapolis this season, boasting a 3.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 66/14 K/BB ratio over 77 2/3 innings. It would be just a one-start appearance, but if he keeps pitching well he could get an extended look at some point.
