Pirates News
After a brutal 2-10 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, the Pittsburgh Pirates find themselves in a tough spot, sitting at 56-57 and dealing with the crushing blow of Mitch Keller being lost for the season due to a teres major muscle injury. The front office made a flurry of moves at the trade deadline, acquiring right-handers Lake Bachar, Luke Weaver, and Kirby Yates to bolster a struggling bullpen that desperately needs reinforcements. This comes after a dismal 2-5 stretch over the last week, with a run differential of -10 that highlights the struggles on both sides of the ball. As they head into a four-game series against the first-place Milwaukee Brewers, the Pirates must dig deep and rally around their new additions, especially as they prepare for Bubba Chandler to take the mound in a pivotal matchup.
