Hunter Stratton – 2024 photo/Pirates |
- The club activated RHP Hunter Stratton (triceps) from the IL and DFA’ed LHP Josh Fleming in a bullpen flip.
- 1B Rowdy Tellez left Friday’s game with back spasms and 2B Nick Gonzales exited Saturday’s game with left groin discomfort. Tellez pinch hit after an off day; Nicky G was put on the IL and will be out “for weeks, not days” per GM Ben. IF Alika Williams was called up to take his spot.
- The Pirates signed corner IF/OF Jose Rojas to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Indy. Lefty-batting Rojas, 31, played 67 games with the NYY’s AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre club with a line of .254/18/57. He spent parts of two seasons with the Angels in 2021-22.

- RHP Jared Jones (lat strain) is still throwing off flatlands. He did a bullpen session Saturday and return to action is guestimated for mid-to-late August.
- RHP Mike Burrows, who underwent TJ surgery last season, has finished his Florida rehab and reported to Indy.
- LHP Ryan Borucki (triceps) had his rehab stopped (he last threw on 7/23) and will be revaluated in Florida. That doesn’t sound real promising…
- Andrew McCutchen got Bucco career hit #1,639 on Sunday, moving him into the #10 spot on the franchise hit list, ahead of Fred Clarke.
- The Pirates have pitching but need bats. So what hurlers do they dangle for a stick or two? Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors offers a guess…
- Indy RHP Braxton Ashcraft, 24, bumped into MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list. Unfortunately, he’s been on the IL with an unspecified malady since July 11th; in his career, he’s already lost time to shoulder, knee and elbow injuries.
- SD’s Dylan Cease tossed a no hitter v the Nats. Big Joe Musgrove had the Friars’ first (and until now, only) one.
- RHP Nick Mears, who was a Bucco from 2020-22 (1-0/4.75 in 36 outings) and then went to Colorado, was traded to the Brewers for a pair of minor league arms.
- LA activated Clayton Kershaw and DFA’ed RHP Yohan Ramirez, who got into 26 games for the Pirates last year. The Dodgers also signed RHP Jordan Lyles, released by Kanas City, to a minor-league deal.
