PHOENIX -- Reigning National League Cy Young winner Paul Skenes toyed with perfection, again, while dominating the Diamondbacks in a 1-0 victory Wednesday night. Skenes was in such command that he made Brandon Lowe’s 435-foot first inning homer on the fourth pitch of the game feel like a 10-spot.

Pirates right-hander Jared Jones continues to inch his way toward a long-awaited return to the big league mound. Jones tossed three innings of one-run ball in his second Minor League rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday. He scattered five hits and walked one while recording two strikeouts against Omaha

The saying goes that relievers are failed starters. If you believe that, revisit how much the Padres gave up for Mason Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, and then look at Miller’s dominance to begin his first full season in San Diego. After that, look at the three-year, $69 million

PHOENIX — Don Kelly noticed something was different in Spring Training. Nick Gonzales, meanwhile, said he’s always making adjustments. The trick so far in 2026, when Gonzales has found himself atop the MLB batting average leaders, has been good health and a run of consistent playing time. Whatever the case,

PHOENIX -- Pirates pitcher Chris Devenski received a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for intentionally throwing at Sal Stewart of the Reds during the top of the seventh inning of Saturday’s game at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday.

Off day, flight to Phoenix ... perfect time for a mailbag. Lots of great questions, too. Thank you. Tried to get to as many as possible. If you have a question for a future mailbag, I’m at Jason.Mackey@pirates.com. winningseason24 (@winningseason24): What position does [Pirates general manager] Ben Cherington address first

There’s been ample talk about urgency with the Pirates this season. But what transpired Monday on a Pittsburgh Baseball Club terrace overlooking gorgeous PNC Park involved a different type of urgency. One that united several Pittsburgh partners to combat hunger and food insecurity in the region by launching an important

PITTSBURGH – The early innings of Braxton Ashcraft’s Sunday afternoon start against the Reds checked all the boxes necessary for a possible special outing on the mound. The right-hander was working quickly and in rhythm, getting ahead in counts and commanding his entire arsenal of pitches in Pittsburgh’s 1-0 victory

With help from Major League Baseball and its players, the Taylor Hooton Foundation is widely recognized as the leader in the advocacy against the use of performance-enhancing substances. The foundation has an advisory board that has at least one representative from all 30 teams. For example, right-hander Paul Skenes and

Last week was full of home runs across the Minor Leagues. To be exact, players on team Top 30 prospect lists accounted for 249 home runs across six days of games. There were two-homer games. Three-homer games. A three-homer day across a doubleheader. No shortage of longballs from players who

PITTSBURGH -- What a difference a few short days can make for a team’s fortune. The Pirates didn't have a single win to show for 18 runs scored during its four-game sweep at the hands of St. Louis earlier this week. But the team is now 2-0 since flipping the

Edward Florentino gave a hop, skip and a goodbye to the second pitch of his fourth-inning at-bat Sunday. Turns out it was a milestone moment for him. MLB's No. 44 prospect smashed his first High-A home run after being activated off the 7-day injured list Friday. Florentino lifted Greensboro to

Seth Hernandez isn’t necessarily pitching for strikeouts. More than anything, the Pirates’ top pitching prospect described it as self-preservation in the Florida heat. Hey, whatever works, right? Hernandez, 19, has been racking up a boatload of strikeouts with Low-A Bradenton while experiencing a slew of success. Through five starts, he

PITTSBURGH – The last week hasn't been too kind to the Pirates. And after getting swept at home by St. Louis, the team was desperate for a spark to help escape its current funk. Batterymates Mitch Keller and Henry Davis delivered and then some, with six innings of one-run ball

The path is anything but linear or without obstacles, but with each passing start, the dream of seeing Seth Hernandez and Paul Skenes atop the Pirates rotation becomes a little more exciting, if not realistic. Hernandez toed the rubber for his fifth pro start and once again stole the show,

They may not be in the same organization anymore, but the bond among brothers remains as strong as ever. Especially with nicknames like "The Password" and "The Username" forever linking them among the baseball ranks. The Garcia brothers -- Jhostynxon and Johanfran -- played at different levels of the Minors,

As they often do, the Pirates found a way to cram a lot into the first month of the season. There was the 1-3 start featuring a frustrating opening series in New York. They’re currently trying to snap a five-game losing streak that includes getting swept by the Cardinals at

PITTSBURGH -- Paul Skenes didn't allow a baserunner for the first 6 2/3 innings of his outing in Milwaukee last Friday. Yet the Cardinals needed just three pitches to crack the code against the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner in Thursday afternoon’s 10-5 loss in the series finale
