WASHINGTON -- Bubba Chandler tries not to linger on the negatives, but his first Major League start on Sunday demanded some reflection once he got home from the ballpark. He had three solid outings as a bulk reliever to start his career, but his first turn as a starter was

BALTIMORE -- When the Pirates signed Edward Florentino as an international free agent in January of 2024, the projection was that 6-foot-4 teenager would eventually land at a corner outfield spot or first base. That tends to be the pathway for prospects who have the frame and a hit tool,

BALTIMORE -- In the 144-year history of the Pittsburgh Pirates, only eight players have struck out 200 batters in a season. Ed Morris had the top two seasons back in the 19th century. Bob Veale accomplished the feat four times in the 1960s. In the 21st century, Óliver Pérez, Mitch

Carlos Lagrange (Yankees) punctuated a strong stretch of mound work by pitching his club into the postseason to highlight Thursday night's action.

BALTIMORE -- At first glance, you might be able to pass off that Braxton Ashcraft and Mike Burrows don’t play the same position, or maybe even the same sport. Ashcraft, a broad-shouldered 6-foot-5 Waco, Texas, kid, gave up football in high school to pump fastballs with his blond locks twirling

PITTSBURGH – For Jacob Misiorowski, this was much more like it. For Bubba Chandler, it was time to move on to the next one. In a matchup of two of the best pitching prospects in baseball, 23-year-old Misiorowski got back on track with the first seven-inning start of his career,

PITTSBURGH – Mitch Keller’s 2023 and 2024 seasons, while successes overall, followed a very similar, and flawed, pattern. He pitched like an All-Star in the first half of the season (getting the nod in 2023) but then struggled over the final months of the season, inflating his ERA into the

Yet Wednesday night showed why Pittsburgh feels it is not far away from being a contending team. The Pirates blanked the NL West-leading Dodgers, 3-0, at PNC Park as five pitchers combined
