• Pirates add RHP Ryan to 40-man roster
    Pirates selected the contract of RHP Ryder Ryan from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Ryan made one appearance (his MLB debut) with the Mariners last season and hopes to stick around longer this time. The 28-year-old posted a 3.38 ERA and 10/4 K/BB ratio over eight innings of work this spring. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago
  • Pirates add RHP Stratton to roster
    Pirates selected the contract of RHP Hunter Stratton from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Stratton was added ahead of Thursday’s Opening Day victory. The 27-year-old earned his spot after throwing seven scoreless frames during spring training action. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago
  • Collects three hits, homers
    Conforto went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored during Thursday's loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Conforto tagged closer Robert Suarez for a solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning and fell one triple shy of an Opening Day cycle. Tabbed the Giants' everyday left fielder, Conforto should have ample opportunity to make fantasy contributions after slashing .239/.334/.384 with 58 runs scored and 58 RBI in 2023.

  • Pirates place INF Bae on 10-day injured list
    Pirates placed INF Ji-Hwan Bae on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to March 25, with a hip strain.

    Advice: Bae is already doing some baseball activities, but he’ll get a late start on the season anyway. The speedy 24-year-old figures to have a utility role waiting for him once he’s back to full health. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • Pirates place C Grandal on 10-day injured list
    Pirates placed C Yasmani Grandal on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to March 25, with left foot plantar fasciitis.

    Advice: Grandal was probably going to be the Opening Day catcher after signing with the team in February, but his foot issue opened the door for Henry Davis to take the job. If Davis gets off to a hot start, Grandal will likely be more of a veteran caddy once he’s ready to go. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
  • Pirates designate C Sánchez for assignment
    Pirates designated C Ali Sánchez for assignment.

    Advice: The Pirates gave Sánchez a one-year deal this offseason, but he was bumped off the 40-man roster to make room for other players on the Opening Day roster. Jason Delay will serve as Henry Davis’ backup, at least until Yasmani Grandal is ready to return. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
  • No decision on Opening Day
    Webb went six innings and didn't factor into the decision during Thursday's loss to the Padres. He struck out five over six innings and gave up two runs on five hits and two walks.

    Advice: The 2023 NL Cy Young runner-up picked up where he left off last season, delivering a quality start during his first outing of the 2024 campaign. Webb held the Padres scoreless up until the fifth frame, where he allowed both runs to be scored as part of a three-hit inning. While his primary value is his durability -- throwing at least 190 innings in two straight seasons -- and a strong K:BB (194:31 in 2023), he could face similar issues picking up wins this season due to a lack of run support.

  • Pirates designate LHP Wolf for assignment
    Pirates designated LHP Jackson Wolf for assignment.

    Advice: Wolf was among the Pirates’ cuts earlier in the month and now he’s off the 40-man roster. The 24-year-old southpaw was part of the Rich Hill/Jiman Choi trade with the Pirates last August. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Drives in two
    Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-RBI double during Thursday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Cronenworth plated Xander Bogaerts and Jackson Merrill on a seventh-inning double as part of a four-run frame for the Padres. He's now generated multiple RBI in back-to-back games dating back to San Diego's two-game series in South Korea against the Dodgers and has driven in six on the season. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
