Do These Prospects Matter for Fantasy Baseball? Druw Jones, Brooks Lee, Dylan Lesko, Owen Murphy, more

Major League Baseball has now passed the midseason point, and multiple prospect promotions have occurred over the last week.

While not a ranking piece, this article should give a good idea of the players that […]

Ji Hwan Bae Nearing A Rehab Assignment

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie outfielder Ji Hwan Bae (ankle) took ground balls on Wednesday and is playing catch. The Pirates expect that he will begin a minor-league rehab assignment when the team returns from its West-Coast road trip. The 23-year-old was injured on July 1 and was hitting only .238 (51-for-214) with two home runs, nine […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Doing Baseball Activities

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has been running, taking grounders and hitting, and the team is hopeful that he'll continue to get repetitions to be in a position to take at-bats before he's activated from the 10-day injured list. A minor-league rehab assignment is possible once he recovers from lower-back inflammation. Because he's […]

Quinn Priester and Endy Rodriguez - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlooks

It's hard to believe that the Pittsburgh Pirates were 20-9 at the end of April. Alas, here we are, just a couple of 10-game losing streaks later, and the Buccos are 12 games under .500 and 11 games out of first place in the NL Central once again. All is right in the world. Unfortunately, […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates will designate relief pitcher Wil Crowe (shoulder) for assignment once he comes off the 60-day injured list. Crowe initially came to Pittsburgh as one half of the Josh Bell trade. He had been rehabbing at Triple-A Indianapolis and was close to rejoining the team. The 28-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched for the Pirates […]

Bryan Reynolds Continues To Struggle

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 0-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in a 7-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. The struggles continue for Reynolds who is batting just .205 with a .609 OPS over the last 30 contests. He nearly ended the Pirates' seventh-inning rally when he appeared to ground […]

David Bednar Shuts The Door On Cleveland On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher David Bednar worked a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians to pick up his 18th save of the season in a 7-5 win. This game looked to be out of reach for the Pirates before a five-run seventh inning gave them the lead. Bednar was called upon to […]

Endy Rodriguez Taking A Day Off

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie catcher Endy Rodriguez will take the day off on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Rodriguez just made his major-league debut this week and has gone hitless in seven at-bats with six strikeouts, so the Pirates are going to let him clear his head a bit before his third start in the big […]

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said that rookie catcher Endy Rodriguez will receive the bulk of the catching repetitions moving forward.

Travis Swaggerty Designated For Assignment

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Travis Swaggerty has been designated for assignment as part of a flurry of roster moves made by the club on Monday. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in the big leagues this season as he's spent much of his 2023 season at Triple-A, although his season has been dramatically cut short due […]

Pirates Call Up Liover Peguero

The Pittsburgh Pirates are calling up infield prospect Liover Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday and are optioning outfielder Josh Palacios to Indianapolis in a corresponding move. The 22-year-old Peguero is Pittsburgh's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he gets the call to the Show after hitting a combined .260/.333/.462 with 13 home runs, […]
