Rest-of-Season Projections

McPherson recently underwent surgery to repair a broken elbow and will miss the entire 2014 season, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
ANALYSIS
McPherson underwent Tommy John surgery last July and apparently pushed himself too hard in his recovery and broke the elbow. It's a tough blow for the 26-year-old, as he's not expected to be healthy until spring training.

Miami's Jose Fernandez may have the highest ceiling of the current crop of young right-handed pitchers in or approaching the big leagues.
2013 Fantasy Outlook
McPherson is expected to compete for Pittsburgh's fifth starter spot in 2013. The hard-throwing righty demonstrated impeccable control again in 2012, striking out 63 batters while walking just nine in a year split between Double-A and Triple-A. With Pittsburgh he compiled a 2.73 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 26.1 innings, stringing together a 21:7 K:BB ratio. The 25-year-old has the potential to take a regular shift in the rotation. Prospects Jameson Taillon and Gerrit Cole figure to be knocking on the door by late 2013, so McPherson will want to state his case before then. He flashed a 95 mph fastball and sharp breaking pitch against rival Cincinnati late in 2012, an outing that likely boosted his stock. It wouldn't be surprising to see him emerge as a pleasant surprise in 2013, though he's not even assured of a roster spot.
