Francisco Liriano passed his physical today, according to a source.
The deal should become official shortly. Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal first reported that Liriano passed his physical.
The Pirates will have to make corresponding move to add Liriano to the 40-man roster, which is full.
Liriano will join A.J. Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez, James McDonald and Jeff Karstens in the rotation, but not right away. He must still recover from a broken right humerus suffered in late December that will likely keep him out for the start of the season.
Jeff Locke and Kyle McPherson will compete to fill the final spot in the rotation until Liriano returns.
The rotation jam becomes interesting in the second half of the season, when Charlie Morton should be ready to return from Tommy John surgery and top prospect Gerrit Cole may be ready to make his debut.
