Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jameson Taillon was bashed for a second consecutive outing on Wednesday, lasting just 3 2/3 innings and surrendering seven runs on 10 hits in a loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Colin Moran Sitting On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran is out of the lineup against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. Moran is scuffling a bit over his previous nine games, batting only .179/.200/.250 in his last 30 plate appearances. He also hasn't homered since April 2, so manager Clint Hurdle may just want his young third baseman to […]

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Mike Soroka continues to impress for Triple-A Gwinnett. On Monday night, Soroka pitched a complete game in seven innings and allowed three hits, three walks and four strikeouts.

[…]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Yuli Gurriel arrived in the Majors with more hype than most other Cuban players due to his age and lineage, but the jury is still out on his ceiling. Last season, a 1.7 WAR in 139 games limited him to a decent but not […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Colin Moran was the key return from the Gerrit Cole deal for the Pirates and while underwhelming regarding the trade, offers an exciting play in fantasy.

Gregory Polanco Shows Signs of Breaking Slump

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.

Ivan Nova Looks Sharp in No-Decision

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Ivan Nova threw well enough to earn a win on Friday night, allowing one run and striking out three in six innings, but was saddled with a no-decision against the Philadelphia Phillies.
