Pirates' Braxton Ashcraft: Set for first career start Monday
Achcraft will draw the start on the mound in Monday's series opener against the Brewers, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Ashcraft will make his first career major-league start against a red-hot Brewers lineup that has averaged 10.75 runs per contest over a four-game winning streak entering the series. The right-hander has produced a 1.54 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 11.2 innings in seven appearances out of the bullpen this season. Ashcraft threw a career-high 40 pitches in his latest appearance Friday versus the Rangers, so he will likely be limited to a few innings on the mound Monday.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Earns win despite five walks
Falter (6-3) earned the win against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and five walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.
Falter held the Rangers to three runs despite throwing just 52 of 89 pitches for strikes and issuing five walks for the third time this season. After allowing only three earned runs and delivering four quality starts over six May outings, the southpaw has now surrendered 11 earned runs without completing six frames in any of his four June starts. He'll carry a 3.59 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 51:31 K:BB across 85.1 innings into a tough matchup with the Mets next weekend.

Pirates' Tommy Pham: Drives in three in win
Pham went 3-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.
Pham tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning before adding RBI doubles in the fifth and seventh. It was a much-needed performance from the veteran outfielder, who entered Sunday just 2-for-20 over 10 games in June. For the season, he's slashing .209/.289/.247 with no home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and three steals across 180 plate appearances.

Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Sparks offense in win
Horwitz went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.
Horwitz was a thorn in the Rangers' side all game, highlighted by a two-run double during the Pirates' five-run fifth inning. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has hit safely eight times, collecting four doubles, three RBI and seven runs scored. He's slashing .245/.316/.349 with one home run, nine RBI and 14 runs scored across 117 plate appearances while primarily starting against right-handed pitching.

Pirates' Adam Frazier: Idle against righty
Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
After picking up starts in the corner outfield in three straight contests while going 3-for-9 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run, Frazier will head to the bench for a breather against righty Jack Leiter. Despite being out of the lineup Sunday, Frazier should continue to occupy a strong-side platoon role in left field, with either Alexander Canario or Tommy Pham slotting in against southpaws.

Pirates' Mitch Keller: Tagged with tough loss
Keller (1-10) took the loss against the Rangers on Saturday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings.
Keller turned in another good performance and was one out shy from recording his 12th quality start of the season, but he still came away with the loss as the Pirates' hitters were unable to generate enough run support. Keller hasn't won a game since March 28 against the Marlins, and he has received two or fewer runs of support in 10 straight games. He is tied with Antonio Senzatela for the most losses in MLB this season, and Keller will hope to get back into the win column in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Mets.

The Pirates recalled Stratton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
After being sent down to Indianapolis in early May, Stratton turned in a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 13 innings. He'll now be called upon to serve as a bullpen replacement for Ryan Borucki (back), who was placed on the injured list Saturday.

Pirates' Ryan Borucki: Lands on IL
The Pirates placed Borucki on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a lower-back injury, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Borucki's back forced him to make an early exit from Friday's contest, and it will now also keep him sidelined for at least the next 15 days. Hunter Stratton was brought up in a corresponding move to replenish the Pirates' bullpen depth.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Sent back to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
As expected, Suwinski was returned to the minors after a one-day stint in the big leagues as the Pirates' 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Tigers. He was used in both contests of the twin bill, going 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base on the day.

Pirates' Mike Burrows: Allows two homers in loss
Burrows (1-2) took the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
Burrows allowed two runs in the first inning, and then gave up solo homers in the fourth and fifth. The 25-year-old has been a mixed bag through six starts with the Pirates this season, allowing two earned runs or fewer three times and exactly four earned runs in each of the other three outings. He'll take a 4.82 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB across 28 innings into a home matchup with the Mets next weekend.

Pirates' Ryan Borucki: Exits with injury
Borucki was removed from Friday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Borucki gave up one run and recorded just one out before departing the game with a trainer. It's not immediately clear what is bothering him, but the Pirates should offer some more details once they take a closer look at him.

Pirates' Dennis Santana: Handed four-game suspension
Santana received a four-game suspension and fine from the league Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
The incident occurred during the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers for "aggressive conduct toward a fan near the bullpen." The suspension was set to start Friday, but Santana has appealed the suspension and will be available out of the bullpen until the process is complete. He has a 1.72 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP, five holds and a 25:5 K:BB across 31.1 innings this season.
