    Paul Skenes Bounces Back After Opening Day Dud

Top Pirates News

  • Pirates' Jhostynxon Garcia: Recalled, batting sixth Tuesday

    The Pirates recalled Garcia from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

    The move was reported Monday and has now been made official. Garcia is starting in right field and batting sixth Tuesday in St. Louis in what will be his team debut. He was acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason in the Johan Oviedo trade and has slashed .205/.256/.356 with three home runs in 19 games this season with Indianapolis.

  • Pirates' Jhostynxon Garcia: Headed to big leagues

    The Pirates are slated to recall Garcia from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Tuesday's game in St. Louis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Garcia has been scorching hot in May since returning from a back injury, slashing .368/.432/.895 with six home runs in 11 games between a rehab stint at Single-A Bradenton and then Indianapolis. With Ryan O'Hean (quad) slated to miss several weeks of action, Garcia should see regular playing time in the Pirates' outfield.

  • Pirates' Paul Skenes: Rare dud in third loss

    Skenes (6-3) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out seven.

    After twirling eight innings of scoreless ball in back-to-back starts, Skenes stumbled in a tough spot against the red-hot Phillies on Sunday. Three of his hits allowed went for extra bases, and the All-Star right-hander gave up more than three runs for the first time since his disastrous Opening Day start against the Mets. Despite Sunday's hiccup, Skenes still holds a stellar 2.62 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 63:8 K:BB over 55 innings ahead of his next scheduled outing in Toronto.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Headed back to Triple-A

    Yorke was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Phillies, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Yorke will head back to Triple-A after going 0-for-8 with two strikeouts while appearing in four contests following his call-up from Indianapolis on May 8. A corresponding move is expected to be announced ahead of the Pirates' series opener in St. Louis on Tuesday.

  • Pirates' Ryan O'Hearn: Facing multi-week absence

    Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that O'Hearn's right quadriceps strain is considered "moderate" and will likely keep him on the injured list for around four weeks, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    The 32-year-old sustained the injury during Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Phillies and is poised to be sidelined into mid-June. The quad strain is a tough break for O'Hearn, who has been enjoying a strong season as an everyday player with seven home runs, 29 RBI, 27 runs and a .289/.368/.459 slash line through 44 games.

  • Pirates' Marcell Ozuna: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Ozuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Ozuna started the previous eight games but went 5-for-30 (.167) with two homers and 13 strikeouts during that stretch. Oneil Cruz will rest his legs as the designated hitter Sunday while Jake Mangum (hamstring) mans center field in his return from the IL.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Back from injured list

    The Pirates reinstated Mangum (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    The 30-year-old landed on the shelf in early May due to a strained left hamstring, but he's rejoining the Pirates on Sunday after a brief stint on the shelf. Mangum has a .260/.333/.288 slash line with no homers, five steals, three RBI and 13 runs in his first 30 games of the season, and he could take over as Pittsburgh's primary right fielder with Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) going to the IL.

  • Pirates' Ryan O'Hearn: Out with quad strain

    The Pirates placed O'Hearn on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right quadriceps strain.

    O'Hearn exited Saturday's contest due to right quadriceps discomfort and will now be sidelined until at least the middle of next week after being diagnosed with a strain. The severity of the injury has yet to be disclosed, so it's unclear how long the 32-year-old will actually be sidelined. Jake Mangum (hamstring) was activated from the IL in a corresponding move and figures to pick up the bulk of the available playing time in the outfield while O'Hearn is out.

  • Pirates' Bubba Chandler: Continues piling up free passes

    Chandler (1-5) took the loss Saturday against the Phillies, allowing five runs (four earned) on three hits and four walks in three innings. He struck out two.

    Chandler hasn't been able to sharpen his control consistently in 2026, having now issued at least three free passes in six of his first nine starts of the season. Saturday was the hard-throwing right-hander's shortest outing of the year, and he also fanned a season-low two. Although Chandler has held his opponents to a .213 batting average, he's set to bring a 5.14 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and an alarming 36:31 K:BB over 42 innings into a matchup with the Blue Jays.

  • Pirates' Ryan O'Hearn: Dealing with quad injury

    O'Hearn was removed from Saturday's game against the Phillies due to right quad discomfort.

    O'Hearn went 0-for-1 at the plate Saturday before his quad forced him out of the game in the fourth inning. More will be known regarding the severity of his injury after the Pirates' medical staff completes its evaluation, but any missed time for the 32-year-old would likely result in extra starts in the outfield for Billy Cook or Nick Yorke.

  • Pirates' Kyle Robinson: Shipped to Pirates

    The Athletics traded Robinson to the Pirates on Saturday in exchange for Alika Williams.

    Robinson reached Double-A in 2025 but was sent back to High-A at the start of the 2026 campaign and has posted a 3.62 ERA and 1.37 WHIP alongside a 19:13 K:BB across 27.1 innings. The 22-year-old righty will likely remain at High-A to begin his tenure in the Pirates organization and aim to return to Double-A by the end of the season.

  • Pirates' Marcell Ozuna: Tallies fifth homer

    Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Phillies.

    Ozuna took Aaron Nola deep in the fifth inning to record his fifth home run of the season. While his season-long numbers are still lagging behind expectations, Ozuna has hit .244 with three homers, eight RBI and eight runs scored across 12 games since the start of May.

  • Pirates' Dennis Santana: Ugly showing in extra-inning loss

    Santana (2-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits without recording an out to take the loss Friday against the Phillies.

    Santana worked the 10th inning, following Gregory Soto, who blew a three-run lead one frame prior. Santana allowed a leadoff double and three consecutive singles before being pulled, and he's now allowed multiple earned runs in three of his last seven appearances. He also hasn't logged a save since April 15 and isn't likely to see many chances in the near future given his current form.
