2026/08/20

Pirates’ star pitcher Paul Skenes got a strategic rest day, bumping his start from Sunday to Wednesday in hopes of reviving his form—but the move backfired. He struggled through 4.1 innings, surrendering three runs on four hits, walking four batters, and striking out just five despite throwing 81 pitches and a slightly faster fastball. The team’s now scrambling to unlock his Cy Young potential, experimenting with adjustments as they navigate this rough patch—because even the best pitchers need

Pirates ace Paul Skenes is hitting a rough patch this season, his Cy Young-winning form fading as he struggles with walks and rising ERA. After a shaky outing against the Tigers—four innings, three earned runs, four walks—he admits he’s “a little out of sync.” His recent stretch since July 19th has seen him surrender 17 earned runs in just over 23 innings, and his velocity has dipped. Manager Don Kelly tweaked his rest schedule, and while Skenes acknowledges the challenges, he’s staying

Pirates rookie Konnor Griffin is inching back toward action after a six-week layoff from a finger injury, set to ramp up rehab in Bradenton with light swings and a September 4 return target — just as he’s recovering from a prior elbow issue. Despite missing key games, his .276 batting average, five homers, and 20 steals have made him a vital shortstop, and the team’s 18-21 record without him speaks to his impact. He’s eager to rejoin the squad — and so are the Pirates, who’ll also send

Pirates’ ace Paul Skenes is in a slump, his ERA ballooning to 3.95 and velocity dropping, forcing the team to push back his start—yet the results haven’t improved, with three walks or more in four straight outings. With the Pirates deep in the standings race and Skenes’ walk and HR rates at career highs, the front office faces a brutal dilemma: push him to salvage playoff hopes or protect his health for the future.

Paul Skenes is facing a tough moment after his historic early success, as his ERA has jumped to 3.95 and he’s walking more batters than ever before — a stark contrast to the unhittable pitcher fans loved. Despite the frustration and mounting pressure, he remains focused on his stats and execution, still leading in strikeouts and ranking top forty nationally.

Paul Skenes got extra rest between starts hoping to shake off a slump, but it didn’t help—he left his start early after giving up 3 runs, walking 4 batters, and striking out 5. Despite feeling physically fresh and his fastball velocity up, he struggled to find rhythm. The Pirates’ bullpen saved the day with a scoreless finish, and they rallied for a walk-off win.

Pirates’ ace Paul Skenes, fresh off a Cy Young win, got extra rest hoping to reset—but his return against the Tigers showed troubling signs: four and a third innings, three runs, four walks. The 24-year-old, known for overpowering hitters and pinpoint command, struggled mightily, raising alarms about whether rest alone can fix his current slump.

2026/08/20

Pirates make a quiet but smart move, bringing in veteran catcher Christian Bethancourt from the Yankees’ system to bolster their depleted backstop — especially for an upcoming road trip. Though his bat hasn’t been flashy (career .225 AVG, 34 RBIs high), he’s got power (11 homers in two recent seasons) and experience, including a prior stint with Pittsburgh. With Endy Rodríguez sidelined, Bethancourt slots in as insurance — no big splash, just the kind of practical depth the team needs right

Paul Skenes had a shaky outing, lasting just four innings and walking four batters — his season high — but the Pirates still pulled off a 4-3 win. Though he threw harder this time, hitting 97 mph, his recent performance has sparked concern after his early-season dominance. The team pushed back his start to give him more rest, and while he’s focused on execution over outside noise, his numbers remain elite: a 3.95 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP.
