Top Pirates News

  • Pirates' Paul Skenes: Unanimously wins NL Cy Young Award

    Skenes won the 2025 National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Skenes received all 30 first-place votes after finishing the year with a 1.97 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP alongside a 216:42 K:BB across 187.2 innings. He joins Vern Law and Doug Drabek on the list of Pirates to take home the award after the latter two did so in 1960 and 1990, respectively.

  • Pirates' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Sent outright to Triple-A

    Darrell-Hicks was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

    Darrell-Hicks lost his spot on the 40-man roster Thursday. He'll remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed.

  • Pirates' Joe La Sorsa: Invited to Pirates' camp

    La Sorsa signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Saturday that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

    La Sorsa gave up eight earned runs in just 6.2 innings with the Reds in 2025, but he finished the minor-league season with a 2.59 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 48.2 innings at Triple-A. He'll get another chance to work his way back to the majors during spring training; otherwise, he'll help round out the bullpen at Triple-A Indianapolis.

  • Pirates' Ryan Harbin: Contract selected

    The Pirates selected Harbin's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Harbin began 2025 at High-A Greensboro but managed to reach Triple-A Indianapolis by season's end, and he'll now begin the offseason by securing a place on Pittsburgh's 40-man roster. The 24-year-old righty figures to have an outside chance to make the Pirates' Opening Day roster, but considering he gave up 17 earned runs in just 13.1 innings at Indianapolis, the team may look to get him more reps in Triple-A before letting him make his MLB debut.

  • Pirates' Dugan Darnell: Designated for assignment

    The Pirates designated Darnell (hip) for assignment Thursday.

    Thursday marks the second time in six days that Darnell has been DFA'd, as he joined the Pirates via waiver claim from Colorado last Friday. The 28-year-old righty posted a 3.19 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 53.2 Triple-A innings during 2025 despite playing in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, giving him a fair amount of appeal for bullpen-needy teams browsing the waiver wire.

  • Pirates' Liover Peguero: Outrighted to Indy

    Peguero cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Peguero spent most of 2025 in Triple-A, slashing .247/.316/.371 across 304 plate appearances. Now that he's been booted off Pittsburgh's 40-man roster, it seems likely that the 24-year-old will return to Indianapolis to begin the 2026 season.

  • Pirates' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Designated for assignment

    The Pirates designated Darrell-Hicks for assignment Thursday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Darrell-Hicks struggled to find his footing on the mound in 2025, posting a 7.45 ERA and 1.45 WHIP through 9.2 MLB innings, as well as an 8.45 ERA and 1.93 WHIP through 38.1 innings in Triple-A. He'll lose his place on Pittsburgh's 40-man roster as a consequence of his struggles, and he'll likely have to turn things around dramatically before the club considers adding him back.

  • Pirates' Jack Little: Placed on waivers

    The Pirates placed Little on outright waivers Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    The Pirates claimed Little off waivers from the Dodgers in August, but he never made an appearance for Pittsburgh. He posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 19.1 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis, however, which could be enough for another team to give the 27-year-old reliever a 40-man spot early in the offseason.

  • Pirates' Liover Peguero: Waived by Buccos

    The Pirates placed Peguero on outright waivers Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    Peguero will lose his place on the 40-man roster after appearing in just 33 MLB games in 2025, during which he slashed .200/.273/.363 over 88 plate appearances. If the 24-year-old passes through waivers unclaimed, he will most likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Indianapolis.

  • Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Waived by Pirates

    The Pirates placed Bae on waivers Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    Bae spent nearly all of 2025 at Triple-A Indianapolis, where he slashed .292/.380/.424 with 21 RBI, 55 runs scored and 23 steals over 67 games. Any club interested in adding the 26-year-old to its 40-man roster will now have the opportunity to do so; otherwise, Bae will most likely report to Indianapolis to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Pirates' Dugan Darnell: Claimed by Pirates

    The Pirates claimed Darnell (hip) off waivers from the Rockies on Friday and placed him on the 60-day injured list, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Darnell posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in the majors this year across 11.2 innings, though his season was cut short in late August by a torn labrum in his left hip. Now in the Pirates organization, the 28-year-old righty will be entering a more pitcher-friendly environment compared to Colorado. However, he'll still likely be limited to middle-relief duties in Pittsburgh.
