Top Pirates News

  • Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Flashes wheels Tuesday

    Hayes went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Mets.

    While the Pirates' overall offensive malaise prevented Hayes from adding any other fantasy-friendly stats to his ledger, he continues to be one of the most consistent hitters in the lineup. The third baseman hasn't gone consecutive games without a hit since mid-April, and over his last 22 contests he's slashing .310/.341/.356 with two steals and seven RBI, but somehow only one run scored.

  • Pirates' Mitch Keller: Gets little help again in loss

    Keller (1-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Pirates fell 2-1 to the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out eight.

    The strikeouts were a season high for Keller, who delivered his second straight quality start and sixth of the campaign on 96 pitches (65 strikes), including 32 called or swinging strikes. The right-hander hasn't gotten into the win column since March 28 due to consistently poor offensive support -- the Bucs have scored only 15 runs combined in his last seven trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 3.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB over 42.1 innings. Keller lines up to make his next start at home early next week against the Reds.

  • Pirates' Henry Davis: Struggling with limited opportuntiy

    Davis went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Tuesday against the Mets.

    Davis has drawn consecutive starts for the first time since mid-April, with Joey Bart serving as designated hitter in the absence of Oneil Cruz (back). It may be unfair to judge Davis fully based on his sporadic playing time, but his ugly sample in the majors has continued in 2025 as he is hitting only .135/.220/.216 across 42 plate appearances. The lone positive is that he's striking out just 16.7 percent of the time, nearly half of his 29.2 percent rate in 415 big-league plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Adam Frazier: Gets chance in leadoff spot

    Frazier went 1-for-3 with two walks, a double and a stolen base Tuesday against the Mets.

    Frazier remains the Pirates' primary second baseman with Nick Gonzales (ankle) sidelined, but he got the chance to lead off for the first time since April 5. Frazier only got that chance because Oneil Cruz (back) is sidelined, but he took advantage with a solid stat line and his first stolen base since April 23. Despite the well-rounded line, he has gone just 5-for-25 with one run scored and one RBI in his last 10 games.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Idle Tuesday

    McCutchen isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

    McCutchen will start Tuesday's contest on the bench after going 1-for-3 with a walk during Monday's series opener. His absence will put Joey Bart into the DH spot while Henry Davis catches and bats ninth.

  • Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Sitting again Tuesday

    Cruz (back) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    Tuesday will mark the third consecutive absence for Cruz due to his sore back. The Pirates haven't announced any plans to move him to the injured list, though that could change if the 26-year-old doesn't return within the next few days. Ji Hwan Bae will start in center field Tuesday and bat eighth.

  • Pirates' Tommy Pham: Sitting Tuesday

    Pham isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    Pham served his one-game suspension Monday, but the Pirates will give him another day off Tuesday following his 1-for-10 stretch at the plate. Alexander Canario, Ji Hwan Bae and Bryan Reynolds will start across Pittsburgh's outfield while Pham rests.

  • Pirates' Paul Skenes: Gives up one run in no-decision

    Skenes did not factor into the decision against the Mets on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks while striking out six across six innings.

    Skenes was able to pitch himself out of trouble for most of the night, with his lone blemish coming in the fourth inning on a Jeff McNeil RBI double. Skenes generated nine whiffs and 16 first-pitch strikes on 92 pitches and managed to log his sixth quality start of the season. Across 54.2 innings this season, the 22-year-old ace has a 2.63 ERA and 1.01 WHIP, which rank seventh and fifth, respectively, in the National League among qualified starters. Skenes is slated to face the Phillies on the road this weekend.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Belts home run in return

    Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

    Kiner-Falefa slashed .302/.327/.377 with two stolen bases and three RBI in the 15 games prior to his stint on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. He picked up where he left off Monday, smashing a solo home run to left-center field off David Peterson in the second frame. Kiner-Falefa added a single in the sixth frame to log his seventh multi-hit game of the season, and he has a career-best .704 OPS over 113 plate appearances this year.

  • Pirates' Joey Bart: Serving as designated hitter

    Bart is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot against the Mets on Monday.

    With Oneil Cruz (back) sidelined for a second straight game, Andrew McCutchen will move to the outfield, which opens the DH spot for Bart while Henry Davis starts behind home plate. Bart went 6-for-12 with three RBI during the Pirates' three-game weekend series against Atlanta.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Remains out of lineup

    Cruz (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Mets.

    Cruz will miss a second straight start after exiting Saturday' contest versus Atlanta with lower-back tightness. Alexander Canario will get another start in center field in place of Cruz, who is considered day-to-day.

  • Pirates' Tommy Pham: Serving suspension Monday

    Pham will serve a one-game suspension Monday against the Mets stemming from an incident that occurred in an April 23 game against the Angels, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Pham had appealed the ban, which was handed down by MLB after he was deemed to have made inappropriate actions toward fans last month. It's not clear whether he's dropped the appeal or if the suspension was upheld, but either way, he will be unavailable for the Pirates in Monday's series opener.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Reinstated from IL

    The Pirates reinstated Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Kiner-Falefa was placed on the 10-day injured list May 1 due to a right hamstring strain. He quickly resumed baseball activities and was able to run the bases over the weekend, and he's recovered enough that a rehab assignment is not needed. Kiner-Falefa slashed .280/.333/.330 with six stolen bases and seven RBI prior to his injury, and he should be back in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Mets on Monday. Liover Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

  • Pirates' Liover Peguero: Headed back to Triple-A

    The Pirates optioned Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

    He'll give up his spot on the Pirates' 26-man roster to infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After being called up from Triple-A on May 2, Peguero appeared in four games for Pittsburgh and went 2-for-9 with three strikeouts.
