Throughout much of last season -- and even earlier this season -- a pair of familiar hurlers sat atop our Cy Young poll. Paul Skenes in the National League. Tarik Skubal in the American League. Well, that's not the case anymore. Skubal is sidelined after undergoing surgery to remove loose

You never know what might happen at the ballpark. On a night filled with offense, Wyatt Sanford (PIT No. 6) and Yeison Morrobel (TEX) did their very best to stand out ... and boy, did they ever. Sanford homered three times to power High-A Greensboro to a wild 19-13 win

PITTSBURGH -- A specific adjective came to Pirates catcher Henry Davis’ mind when thinking of Wilber Dotel's relief performance on Monday afternoon. Fearless. “If you have control on the mound when you're pitching, there's no reason to be scared on the mound or have fear,” Dotel said through interpreter Stephen

This page will be updated throughout the year with the latest Pirates injury news and transactions.

PITTSBURGH -- Pirates manager Don Kelly was ejected for the second time in three games. Kelly argued with crew chief Dan Bellino after a review of a hit-by-pitch didn’t go Pittsburgh’s way in Monday afternoon’s 2-1 series-opening win against the Cubs at PNC Park.

When it comes to Henry Davis, no one should ever question the work. Or the amount of care with which the Pirates catcher operates. But as far as results, Davis knows they’ve lacked. Davis has done his part by putting in the time and being a good teammate, but it's

TORONTO -- The future of the Pirates is arriving in waves these days, and on Sunday, it was Esmerlyn Valdez’s turn for his first big moment wearing the black and yellow. With Pittsburgh holding on to a lead in the sixth inning of a 4-1 win against the Blue Jays,

TORONTO – The Pirates left Toronto having gone one for three at Rogers Center, but it felt more encouraging than that, largely because of what was learned before, during and even after Pittsburgh’s 4-1 victory over the Blue Jays. Among the notable storylines: Mitch Keller’s quality start, a needed rebound

TORONTO -- Looking to bounce back from an uneven start his last time out, Pirates ace Paul Skenes again found himself walking off the mound after allowing multiple runs in the sixth inning on Saturday against the Blue Jays. Skenes immediately found himself on his back foot in Saturday’s 5-2

TORONTO -- Frustrations boiled over for the Pirates on Saturday amid an eventful sixth inning. Both manager Don Kelly and pitching coach Bill Murphy were ejected after the Blue Jays chased Paul Skenes during Pittsburgh's 5-2 loss at Rogers Centre. The ejections were a buildup of multiple checked-swing calls throughout

Nickname Knockout -- the fan-voted tournament to determine who has the best nickname in Minor League Baseball -- is headed into the home stretch, and The Iowa Meat Truck is leading the pack. Voting for this 32-player bracket began on May 19 and will run through Friday, May 29, at

TORONTO -- Things have been anything but smooth sailing for Bubba Chandler to begin 2026. But on Friday night at Rogers Centre, the Pirates right-hander took a step forward. Chandler needed just four innings to set a career high in strikeouts, besting his previous total of seven from a mid-September

TORONTO -- The Pirates are set to get a dose of power as their youth movement continues.

ST. LOUIS – Spencer Horwitz leaned against a wall outside of the visitors’ clubhouse at Busch Stadium and couldn’t help but chuckle at the premise. “The last 24th-round pick in Blue Jays history,” Horwitz said. “Take that to the grave, I guess.” It’s the perfect encapsulation of Horwitz, the consummate

TORONTO – Esmerlyn Valdez paused for a second and smiled wide, eventually nodding his head with an enormous amount of pride. The question was about the Pirates’ academy in the Dominican Republic and the impact it had on the young outfielder.

ST. LOUIS – The slicing and dicing Braxton Ashcraft did through the St. Louis Cardinals lineup on Thursday was certainly impressive, both in execution and circumstance. With a series to win and a four-game losing streak to shrink in the rearview mirror, Ashcraft understood the assignment and shoved: seven innings,

ST. LOUIS -- Whether the ball managed to sneak over the wall or not, nothing was coming between Brandon Lowe and touching home plate.

ST. LOUIS -- One of the best ways to ease the burden on a beleaguered bullpen is to get just a little bit more out of the starting rotation. Braxton Ashcraft is well on his way to holding up his end of that bargain, backing a steady Pittsburgh offense to

We’re less than two months away from the Draft now, with high school playoffs rolling on and colleges in conference tournament play. It might have been efficient to do this week’s mock draft in person at the SEC Tournament in Alabama, because it felt that pretty much every scouting director

ST. LOUIS -- A few blocks away from the river bearing the name of their shared home, Konnor Griffin and Jake Mangum stood grinning at their side-by-side lockers and launched into a passable impression of a two-man comedy routine. The material could use a little polish, but the baseball went
