There’s been ample talk about urgency with the Pirates this season. But what transpired Monday on a Pittsburgh Baseball Club terrace overlooking gorgeous PNC Park involved a different type of urgency. One that united several Pittsburgh partners to combat hunger and food insecurity in the region by launching an important

PITTSBURGH – The early innings of Braxton Ashcraft’s Sunday afternoon start against the Reds checked all the boxes necessary for a possible special outing on the mound. The right-hander was working quickly and in rhythm, getting ahead in counts and commanding his entire arsenal of pitches in Pittsburgh’s 1-0 victory

Last week was full of home runs across the Minor Leagues. To be exact, players on team Top 30 prospect lists accounted for 249 home runs across six days of games. There were two-homer games. Three-homer games. A three-homer day across a doubleheader. No shortage of longballs from players who

PITTSBURGH -- What a difference a few short days can make for a team’s fortune. The Pirates didn't have a single win to show for 18 runs scored during its four-game sweep at the hands of St. Louis earlier this week. But the team is now 2-0 since flipping the

Edward Florentino gave a hop, skip and a goodbye to the second pitch of his fourth-inning at-bat Sunday. Turns out it was a milestone moment for him. MLB's No. 44 prospect smashed his first High-A home run after being activated off the 7-day injured list Friday. Florentino lifted Greensboro to

Seth Hernandez isn’t necessarily pitching for strikeouts. More than anything, the Pirates’ top pitching prospect described it as self-preservation in the Florida heat. Hey, whatever works, right? Hernandez, 19, has been racking up a boatload of strikeouts with Low-A Bradenton while experiencing a slew of success. Through five starts, he

PITTSBURGH – The last week hasn't been too kind to the Pirates. And after getting swept at home by St. Louis, the team was desperate for a spark to help escape its current funk. Batterymates Mitch Keller and Henry Davis delivered and then some, with six innings of one-run ball

The path is anything but linear or without obstacles, but with each passing start, the dream of seeing Seth Hernandez and Paul Skenes atop the Pirates rotation becomes a little more exciting, if not realistic. Hernandez toed the rubber for his fifth pro start and once again stole the show,

They may not be in the same organization anymore, but the bond among brothers remains as strong as ever. Especially with nicknames like "The Password" and "The Username" forever linking them among the baseball ranks. The Garcia brothers -- Jhostynxon and Johanfran -- played at different levels of the Minors,

As they often do, the Pirates found a way to cram a lot into the first month of the season. There was the 1-3 start featuring a frustrating opening series in New York. They’re currently trying to snap a five-game losing streak that includes getting swept by the Cardinals at

PITTSBURGH -- Paul Skenes didn't allow a baserunner for the first 6 2/3 innings of his outing in Milwaukee last Friday. Yet the Cardinals needed just three pitches to crack the code against the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner in Thursday afternoon’s 10-5 loss in the series finale

PITTSBURGH -- Before reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes and Cardinals outfielder Nathan Church were preparing to face off against each other in the big leagues on Thursday afternoon at PNC Park, the two shared a locker room on a much smaller stage. It just might not

As the calendar gets ready to turn to May, the Draft buzz is starting to grow louder. And we’re leaning into it with an updated and expanded Draft Top 150. With two-plus months left before the 2026 Draft gets underway in Philadelphia, there’s a ton of movement on every team’s

PITTSBURGH – The Pirates seemed due for some late-inning fireworks on a dreary, drizzly Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. It just didn't feel like the pyrotechnics were ever going to ignite, as the team found themselves one big hit shy of truly changing the game after each passing inning. Then Nick

Pirates right-hander Jared Jones made his first Minor League rehab start on Wednesday as he continues to work his way back from internal brace surgery on his right elbow. Pitching for Single-A Bradenton against Lakeland at LECOM Park, Jones looked good, throwing three perfect innings over which he struck out

The first month of the Minor League season is in the books, and looking at each system's hottest hitter can be instructive. A year ago at this time, Konnor Griffin (Pirates) was showing why he had the highest ceiling in the 2024 Draft. Roman Anthony (Red Sox) and Moisés Ballesteros

PITTSBURGH – Pirates No. 4 prospect Hunter Barco landed in Pittsburgh less than 30 minutes prior to Tuesday night’s first pitch. In Memphis with Triple-A Indianapolis at the start of the day, his services were called upon by manager Don Kelly to help aid a taxed pitching staff following Monday

A month into the 2026 MLB season, the races for the AL and NL Cy Young Awards already seem focused on two familiar names: Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes. That's no surprise, as both are the reigning winners in their respective leagues, with Skubal having won the AL prize the

PITTSBURGH – Manager Don Kelly had heard reports that Wilber Dotel, Pittsburgh’s No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was the hardest worker in the club's farm system. It’s one of the reasons Kelly was intrigued when the team recalled Dotel from Triple-A earlier this month. Dotel was finally given a
