Pirates Place Esmerlyn Valdez On 10-Day Injured List

The Pirates placed outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez on the 10-day injured list today before their afternoon matchup with the Cubs.

Pittsburgh’s chances of making the playoffs are slim to none, but this is still a disappointing blow for an […]

Cubs 4, Pirates 3: The hit batsmen just kept on coming

That… that was not quite the way I’d have drawn up another Cubs win, but we will take them any way they come. The Cubs defeated the Pirates 4-3 on an eighth-inning two-run rally in which they had only one hit. This, after hitting two home runs off Paul Skenes and going behind thanks in […]

Bucs’ offense dealt blow as Valdez (left hamstring strain) heads to IL

CHICAGO — Just as the Pirates offense returned to full strength on Friday, it took another hit soon after. Pittsburgh rookie outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain on Saturday. Outfielder Ronny Simon was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. Valdez exited Friday’s game in the sixth inning while running down the first-base line to beat out a ground ball. He came up limp, holding his left leg and needing heavy assistance to exit the field int...

Sporcle Saturday: 100 innings in relief

Good morning! It's been a rough go of it for the White Sox lately, what with the offense sputtering in a sweep at home by the Pirates . So, no offensively-oriented Sporcle this week as there hasn't been very much to celebrate about since Sunday's victory over the Twins. On the pitching side, however, something which I found interesting is the innings total that Sean Newcomb is approaching. Entering Friday evening's game against the Cardinals, Newcomb has 83 innings pitched as a reliever. I...

Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Pirates lineup: Clay Holmes, RHP vs. Paul Skenes, RHP Clay Holmes was going along great in his first five starts for the Cubs, then had a stinker last Sunday against the Marlins.

Chicago Cubs Lineup (9/12/26): No Ace Like Holmes, Pirates Sending Skenes to Bump

The Cubs cruised to yet another easy win in a season that has had more than its share of them, though perhaps not enough to make up for the rashes of disappointing losses.

Pirates enter Wrigley Field as second-hottest team in NL

Don’t look now, but the Pirates are getting hot at the right time. It’s been an uphill battle for the Bucs to erase a sizable deficit in the National League Wild Card race, but the team is looking to make this a September to remember.  The Pirates have won four games in a row and […]

Four White Sox to watch over the final 16 games, even if through your fingers

A few days ago in the August Month in a Box , we talked about the White Sox's month-to-month decreases in run differential, and whether they signaled a team that's adept at managing a schedule's degrees of difficulty, or a team that's gradually running out of juice. Being held to five runs over a three - game sweep at home by the Pittsburgh Pirates, a series during which the White Sox never held a lead at any point, makes it easier to indulge the pessimistic perspective. They're hitting .200...
