Luis Ortiz

PIT Starting Pitcher #48

8moFriday’s game between the Nationals and Pirates was postponed due to rain and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday.

Game 1 will begin at 1:35 pm EDT, with Game 2 commencing at 6:40 pm EDT, as previously scheduled. Both teams will stick with their current rotations, giving us DJ Herz and Luis Ortiz in Game 1 and the matchup of Mitchell Parker and Mitch Keller in Game 2.
Joey Bart

PIT Catcher #14

8moPirates activated C Joey Bart from the 10-day injured list.

Henry Davis is sticking around, so the Pirates will divvy up playing time behind the plate three ways. That figures to be bad news for Yasmani Grandal, particularly now that the Pirates are out of the race and better off taking a look at their younger players. Bart should get more of the catcher starts than anyone else, and he and Davis could DH on occasion.
Billy McKinney

PIT Right Fielder #29

8moPirates designated OF Billy McKinney for assignment.

McKinney went 5-for-25 with a double and 13 strikeouts in 10 games for the Pirates. The 30-year-old is a quality Triple-A bat, but it’s never really translated.
Nick Gonzales

PIT Second Baseman #39

8moNick Gonzales went 1-for-3 with three RBI on Thursday, leading the Pirates to a 9-4 win over the Nationals.

Gonzales put Pittsburgh ahead with a two-run single off Nationals starter Jake Irvin as part of a five-run explosion in the second inning before adding a bases-loaded walk in the sixth inning as well. The 25-year-old infielder is batting .290 (8-for-31) with four RBI and one steal over his last seven games.
Aroldis Chapman

PIT Relief Pitcher #45

8moAroldis Chapman recorded two outs in the ninth inning on Thursday against the Nationals to collect his sixth save of the season.

Chapman was summoned to record the final two outs of the ninth inning with Pittsburgh leading by five runs at the time. He struck out rookie José Tena before coaxing a game-ending grounder from Ildemaro Vargas to preserve the win. The 36-year-old veteran appears to be in the driver’s seat for saves in Pittsburgh with David Bednar removed from the role.
Bailey Falter

PIT Relief Pitcher #26

8moBailey Falter gave up three runs over five innings on Thursday in a win over the Nationals.

Falter served up seven hits, including a two-run homer to Andrés Chaparro in the opening frame, but managed to settle in afterwards to complete five frames. He struck out three and also issued two walks. He’ll face off against the Marlins on Tuesday in his next outing.
Domingo German

PIT Starting Pitcher #0

8moPirates designated RHP Domingo Germán for assignment.

Germán was removed from Pittsburgh’s active roster ahead of Thursday’s game against the Nationals to free up a spot for newly-acquired lefty Joey Wentz. The 32-year-old righty struggled to an inflated 7.84 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 18/13 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings (seven appearances, two starts). Regardless of where he winds up, he’s a non-factor for fantasy purposes.
Andrew McCutchen

PIT Center Fielder #22

8moAndrew McCutchen (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s contest agains the Nationals.

McCutchen was a late scratch from Wednesday’s series finale against the Cubs due to a knee issue. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the veteran designated hitter just returned from an injured list stint due to left knee inflammation. He’s presumably day-to-day for now.
Domingo German

PIT Starting Pitcher #0

8moDomingo Germán was only able to complete three innings while allowing seven runs — six earned — in a loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

Germán struggled basically from the jump, allowing a run in the first before giving up three runs in the next two frames. The right-hander gave up two homers with one walk and three strikeouts, and his ERA is now 7.84. It’s absolutely insane that this is the player who has the most recent perfect game.
Andrew McCutchen

PIT Center Fielder #22

8moAndrew McCutchen was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup against the Cubs.

No reason has been given, but it’s worth noting that McCutchen was just activated Friday from the injured list due to knee inflammation. Oneil Cruz is now the designated hitter, and Michael A. Taylor is now the starting center fielder.
