Technically, Zack Wheeler is on the bench. When the league becomes active, he goes to IR and I pick someone off of the waiver wire.

Any suggestions for a WW SP for 2-3 months? Bartolo Colon is holding Wheeler's spot. He's high on the pickup list. Joe Kelley and Mike Bolsinger look possible. I could go with a RP, say Seung-hwan Oh or Ryan Madsen.

Is Vogelsong available? Pittsburgh has historically had a lot of success with picking up discarded finesse pitchers and making them good again.

In your case, I'd grab Madsen. Then you're covered in case Doolittle's shoulder takes an early dump
