The Pirates have claimed outfielder Will Robertson off waivers from the White Sox.

Robertson, 27, hit 20 home runs with a .958 OPS in 89 games in Triple-A. He slashed .129/.173/.143 in 75 MLB PAs.

Ryan Kreidler has been designated for assignment to make room on the roster.

When you advance because of great pitching, head’s up base running, clutch pinch-hitting and simply outlasting your opponent, and not because you bunted three times

Bet the Tigers wish they had another out with a runner in scoring position.

Never. Bunt.

A.J. Pierzynski had 28 sacrifice bunts in his 19 year career and no fewer than 623 references to bunting tonight

M’s are such a great story. It will be such a shame if their season ends because Wilson doesn’t trust his players

Thoughts and prayers to the guy I passed on the way to the clubhouse who was just getting his ass chewed out by his girl during “Go Cubs Go.”

Priester to Mears to Quintana. There are Buccos everywhere for those who have eyes to see

So the Pirates reporter was sent to cover Priester vs. Taillon?

“All this stuff doesn’t happen without the failures.”

After being traded twice in less than nine months, Quinn Priester has found his groove in Milwaukee, and he could be the Brewers’ secret weapon in Game 2.

Priester may feature in relief in Game 2 after incredible breakout season

MILWAUKEE -- There’s a certain amount of gamesmanship that comes with what information managers will share ahead of a postseason contest. Case in point: the Brewers will start lefty reliever Aaron Ash...

Since there’s been speculation on the matter: I’ve been told the full expectation is that Matt Hague will be continuing in his current role as Pirates hitting coach. We’ve already seen some changes on the Pirates’ coaching staff, but Hague should be back for a second season.

Good news: I was able to complete the All-Bucco grid

Bad news: I could only think of one person for the middle entry…

One more on the matter: Brent Strom told the Pirates six weeks ago he would not be returning to the 2026 coaching staff so they could start the process of looking for a new assistant pitching coach if they’d like. If another team shows interest in his services, he’d entertain it.

Alex Stumpf @alexjstumpf.bsky.social · 15d

Further clarification: being told that Strom is considering retirement. Either way, his contract will not be renewed

Alex Stumpf @alexjstumpf.bsky.social · 15d

The Pirates are letting go of pitching coach Oscar Marin and third base coach Mike Rabelo, per source

Additionally, assistant pitching coach Brent Strom is retiring. Sounds like this might not be it for changes, either.
