Endy Rodríguez’s season is over after hip labrum surgery, sidelining him until March or May 2027 — and this isn’t his first rodeo with injuries. Already on the IL earlier this month with hip inflammation, he’s now facing his third major surgery in three years, following elbow procedures in 2023 and last August. Despite missing time, he was crushing it when healthy — batting .267 with an OPS of .840 in 45 games. The Pirates now scramble to fill the catching void, with Henry Davis struggling at

The Pirates are making a bold lineup tweak for their series finale, moving Bryan Reynolds to DH while Jake Mangum takes over left field and rookie Esmerlyn Valdez returns to right.

He’s been clutch—especially in high-leverage spots like his scoreless 10th-inning gem against the Padres—with a .154 opponents’ average and a willingness to pitch anywhere the team needs him.

Esmerlyn Valdez shattered his 24-game homerless drought with a thunderous 413-foot blast off a 90-mph fastball, igniting the Pirates’ offense after 22 scoreless innings and reigniting hope for his breakout potential. Though his early MLB surge was dazzling, pitchers adapted, turning him into a strikeout-prone hitter — but not a failure. With 15 homers in just over 200 at-bats this season, Valdez still flashes elite power and maintains a solid on-base rate despite his recent slump. The Pirates

Balk Blows Up Ashcraft's Game | Pittsburgh Pirates News

2026/08/26

Pirates pitcher Braxton Ashcraft’s game nearly derailed by a baffling balk call that scored a run for the Padres and spiked his pitch count—thanks to a rule requiring pitchers to declare their motion when runners are on third, which Ashcraft didn’t do for the second batter. Frustrated and calling it “the dumbest rule in baseball,” he still delivered a solid six-inning outing, but the balk cost him a chance to finish strong. The call sparked debate among fans, broadcasters, and manager Don

Braxton Ashcraft thought he’d locked down the Padres with six scoreless innings—until a balk call erased his final out, gifted the Padres a run, and left him fuming over what he called “stupid” rule. The umpire called it because Ashcraft failed to announce his switch from set to windup after runners advanced—a technicality that’s been catching pitchers off guard this season, like Chris Sale’s similar fate earlier in August.
