Analysis: Forecast rain may push back the former All-Star's National League debut another day. He already had it pushed back by an offseason injury to his non-throwing arm. Liriano and the Pirates agreed on a $12.75 million, two-year contract in December. But on Dec. 25, the day before he was supposed to fly to Pittsburgh and sign the deal, he broke his arm at home in the Dominican Republic. Liriano said he was injured when he slapped a door in his house.

Analysis: Liriano and the Pirates agreed in December to a two-year contract pending a physical but he injured his right arm during the holidays and it took until Friday to finalize the reworked agreement. He can make $5.25 million this year and $8.5 million in 2014 if he pitches 200 innings a season.

Analysis: Pittsburgh had agreed to a $14 million, two-year contract with Liriano in December, pending a physical. But then Liriano got hurt, putting his status with the Pirates in jeopardy. General manager Neal Huntington would not get into specifics when he talked last month about the nature of the injury, only saying the team remained in contact with Liriano. He went 6-12 with a 5.34 ERA in 2012 while splitting the season between the Twins and White Sox.
