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

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 are set to get a dose of power as their youth movement continues.

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 -- Pirates manager Don Kelly said on Tuesday night in St. Louis that there would be opportunities for relievers both inside and outside the Pittsburgh clubhouse to demonstrate the ability to get consistent outs. The Bucs delivered on some of that promise on Wednesday, recalling RHP Wilber Dotel

ST. LOUIS -- Password accepted, access to the big leagues granted. The Pirates recalled outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday ahead of their series opener at Busch Stadium, and he went 1-for-4 with an eighth-inning single in his Bucs debut before exiting for a pinch-hitter in the top

There’s the well-worn adage that you can never have enough pitching. But you also need enough talent to catch those arms, and developing big league-caliber backstops can be challenging. The Pirates are doing everything they can to build depth at the most demanding position on the diamond, hoping quantity turns

The much-anticipated High-A debut for Seth Hernandez did not disappoint. Unless you happen to be an opposing batter. Pittsburgh's No. 1 prospect spun five hitless innings and struck out seven in his debut for Greensboro, which blanked Jersey Shore, 3-0, on Friday night at ShoreTown Ballpark.

Jhostynxon Garcia must have missed the memo about “Nothing Night” in Louisville, because he kind of did everything at the dish on Tuesday. The Pirates’ No. 5 prospect hammered three homers on a five-hit night -- both career highs -- in Triple-A Indianapolis' 10-8 victory over the Bats at Louisville

He’s only six starts into his professional career, but Seth Hernandez continues to look like one of the game's next great young strikeout artists. The Pirates' No. 2 prospect put forth yet another dominant display Friday night, punching out nine batters for a third consecutive outing for Single-A Bradenton, helping

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

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,

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,

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

Following his impressive pro debut earlier this month, Seth Hernandez told MLB.com, "I think it's about actually learning how to read reports and learning what works for me and my arsenal, and learning what also I could actually take into the game and use." The 19-year-old has made three starts

Edward Florentino has made himself right at home during his rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton, but he probably doesn't need to set up housekeeping. Pittsburgh's No. 3 prospect went deep for the second consecutive game and reached base three times in the Marauders' 8-4 victory over Clearwater on Thursday night

PITTSBURGH -- It was clear the Pirates were going to need some bullpen reinforcements after their marathon, 13-inning loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday night forced them to use six different relievers. The front office remedied its concerns by making the call for 23-year-old right-hander Wilber Dotel, the organization’s No.

Konnor Griffin got off to a quick start at Single-A Bradenton last year and was promoted to High-A on June 10. The way things are going for fellow first-rounder Seth Hernandez, he might be on an even faster timeline. The No. 2 Pirates prospect tossed five no-hit innings Friday for

CHICAGO -- Konnor Griffin's first career hit at Wrigley Field came in unique fashion. At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary soft blooper into left field, but the Pirates' rookie shortstop actually made contact with the ball twice on the same swing.

When a debut goes exactly to plan, you might call it beginner’s luck. On Friday night, Seth Hernandez, the Pirates’ top pitching prospect, took the mound for his second start for Single-A Bradenton and proved that his Florida State League Opening Day outing was anything but an aberration. The 19-year-old

PITTSBURGH -- Konnor Griffin has been consistent with his desire to play baseball in Pittsburgh for a long, long time. Now, those dreams have become reality. The Pirates on Wednesday morning announced they’ve agreed to a nine-year contract with the 19-year-old shortstop, ensuring Griffin remains in Pittsburgh through 2034. Terms

PITTSBURGH -- Pirates fans should make note of April 7, 2026. In front of a modest Tuesday night crowd at PNC Park, reigning Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes and MLB’s top-ranked prospect Konnor Griffin shared a field for the first time in a regular-season game. Coincidentally, or not, each

Ben Cherington had the opportunity to shoot down outside speculation over a potential contract extension for Konnor Griffin. The Pirates general manager did no such thing. Speaking with reporters at PNC Park prior to Tuesday’s game against the San Diego Padres, Cherington said there’s “a level of hope” when it

April 3, 2026, could go down as a legendary date in Pirates history. Not only did the club’s top prospect, Konnor Griffin, make his big league debut and rope an RBI double in his first at-bat, but its No. 2 prospect, Seth Hernandez, officially toed the rubber for the first
