PITTSBURGH (KDKA)-- Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall and pitcher Jordan Lyles will start the season on the Injured List.
Chisenhall was hit by a pitch in the hand last week during Spring Training. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal says the free agent acquisition could be on the shelf with a broken hand for over a month.

J. B. Shuck will take Chisenhall's spot on the active roster to start the season.
Meanwhile, pitcher Jordan Lyles has been placed on the 10-day Injured List with right-side discomfort. Lyles and Chisenhall were arguably the biggest signings the Pirates made in the offseason.
