Pirates' Alexander Canario: Knocks in two
Canario went 1-for-3 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Tigers.
Canario has lost playing time recently but should be in for a short-term uptick with Bryan Reynolds expected to be placed on the paternity list. Canario entered the game in the second inning after Reynolds was pulled to be with his family, and he delivered a two-RBI single one frame later. After hitting relatively well early in his time with Pittsburgh, Canario has gone just 2-for-20 with a 40.9 percent strikeout rate in June.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Hit hard in no-decision
Falter didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
Three of the five hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including homers by Wenceel Perez in the second inning and Javier Baez in the fifth. Falter has avoided getting tagged with a loss since April 27, going 4-0 over his last nine trips to the mound while posting a stunning 1.99 ERA and 0.99 WHIP despite a lackluster 28:17 K:BB in 49.2 innings. He'll try to keep that streak going in his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Rangers.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Headed to paternity list
The Pirates are expected to place Reynolds on the paternity list Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Reynolds was pulled from Tuesday's contest in the second inning to be with his wife, who had gone into labor during the game. The 30-year-old outfielder will be allowed to miss up to three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family; meanwhile, Alexander Canario figures to benefit from a few additional starts in the outfield.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Activated from IL
The Pirates reinstated Bart (concussion) from the injured list Tuesday.
Bart landed on the 7-day concussion IL in late May, but lingering symptoms caused his recovery to extend well into June. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, during which he went 3-for-13 with four walks, two RBI and a run scored across five games. Now out of concussion protocol and fully healthy, Bart should slide back in as Pittsburgh's primary catcher.

Pirates' Brett Sullivan: Removed from 40-man roster
The Pirates designated Sullivan for assignment Monday.
The club needed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Dauri Moreta (elbow), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Booting Sullivan from the active roster suggests the Pirates are preparing for Joey Bart (concussion) to be activated prior to Tuesday's game in Detroit.

Pirates' Dauri Moreta: Activated and optioned
The Pirates activated Moreta (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Moreta has made 18 rehab appearances as he comes back from Tommy John surgery, allowing five runs with a 21:12 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The 29-year-old will continue to knock some rust off at Triple-A Indianapolis while he awaits another opportunity at the big-league level.

Pirates' Mitch Keller: Another quality start
Keller didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.
Keller owns a middling 4.08 ERA on the season, but he's been an extremely reliable arm on the front end of Pittsburgh's rotation. He's had two blow-up starts, allowing a combined 13 earned runs in those outings, and owns a 3.10 ERA outside of those two appearances. His consistency is shown in his 11 quality starts -- tied for the most in baseball. However, a lack of run support has made Keller's campaign frustrating, as the 29-year-old has posted a 1-9 record through 14 outings. In 2024, his ninth loss came Sept. 1. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Rangers his next time out.

Pirates' David Bednar: Yields walk-off
Bednar (1-5) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk with a strikeout over one-third of an inning.
Bednar took the hill in the bottom of the 10th frame and intentionally walked Kyle Tucker to lead off the inning before a double steal put a pair of runners in scoring position with no outs. While Bednar would strike out Jon Berti immediately after, Ian Happ delivered a walk-off base hit. It was the first run Bednar had allowed in his last nine innings. Bednar has converted on all 10 of his save chances in 2025, owning a 3.38 ERA and a 34:5 K:BB over 24 innings.

Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Getting afternoon off
McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
McCutchen will get a chance to catch his breath after starting eight straight games. Alexander Canario will pick up a start in right field while Bryan Reynolds occupies McCutchen's usual spot at designated hitter.

Pirates' Mike Burrows: Plenty of whiffs in no-decision
Burrows came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out eight without walking a batter.
The rookie right-hander engaged in a pitchers' duel with veteran Matthew Boyd, and Burrows racked up an impressive 16 swinging strikes among his 81 pitches (56 total strikes) before exiting the mound with the score tied 1-1. The 5.1 innings tied for his longest outing among his first five appearances in 2025 with the Pirates, and Burrows will take a 4.24 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB through 23.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rangers.

Pirates' Adam Frazier: Taking over in left field
Frazier went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Cubs.
Frazier looked to be the odd man out when Nick Gonzales returned to the lineup, but Frazier has since overtaken Alexander Canario and Tommy Pham for playing time in left field. He's started four of Pittsburgh's last five games at the position and gone 6-for-20 with three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in that span.

Pirates' Dennis Santana: Picks up second win
Santana (2-1) blew the save but earned the win against the Cubs on Friday, striking out one batter across 1.2 innings without allowing a run, hit or walk.
Santana was brought out of the bullpen for the eighth inning with runners on the corners. He was able to force a fielder's choice groundout against Dansby Swanson, but that allowed Kyle Tucker to score from third base to tie the game at 1-1. Santana returned to the mound for the ninth and kept the Cubs off the board, and he was credited with the win after the Pirates scored in the top of the 10th. Santanta has a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB across 30 innings this season.
