Selby is listed as Pittsburgh's probable starting pitcher Sunday against the Yankees.
Selby will serve as an opener for the fifth time this season, and he's allowed four earned runs with a 9:3 K:BB over six frames in that role. The rookie right-hander will likely only cover an inning or two before giving way to Andre Jackson, who is expected to work in bulk relief.

Selby will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Selby's last outing as an opener came Sept. 6 against Milwaukee, with the 25-year-old surrendering three runs in just one inning. He holds an 8.64 ERA through 16.2 frames on the season. The Pirates aren't likely to have Selby work more than an inning or two before he turns the game over to Quinn Priester, who is expected to be called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to serve as a bulk reliever.

Pirates' Colin Selby: Returns to Triple-A bullpen
Rotowire
Selby (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning in relief Friday for Triple-A Indianapolis after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list earlier that day.
Selby was on the shelf for about a month due to the right shoulder injury. The 25-year-old right-handed reliever has compiled a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB in 16.1 innings. Though he's not seen as one of the Pirates' better pitching prospects, Selby's presence on the 40-man roster should give him a chance at making his big-league debut later in 2023 if Pittsburgh has a need for another bullpen arm.

Rotowire
Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Selby has been shut down at Triple-A Indianapolis due to a shoulder injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Selby hasn't resumed a throwing program since Indianapolis placed him on the 7-day injured list May 19 with a previously undisclosed injury. Based on where he currently stands in his recovery from the shoulder issue, Selby is likely at least a few weeks away from being ready to pitch in games.

Selby was optioned Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Selby pitched well in 2022 with a 2.27 ERA and eight saves over 29 appearances with Double-A Altoona and Indianapolis. The right-hander was protected from the Rule 5 Draft in November by being added to the 40-man roster, and should spend time in Pittsburgh this summer -- if not sooner.
