NEWS AND RUMORS
Follow along throughout the day as we provide updates and commentary on the daily Pirates news, along with links to stories around Pittsburgh Baseball Network.
UPDATE: The Pirates announced that Dillon Peters has been placed on the injured list with a lower back strain and they have activated Miguel Yajure for tonight’s game. We could see Yajure tonight because Sam Howard won’t be able to go long.
