Sources: the Pirates are recalling RHP Wilber Dotel and optioning RHP Isaac Mattson.
The bullpen has struggled lately, so the Pirates are giving one of their top pitching prospects another shot in the majors.

@PiratesFaithful Hopefully. He didn’t allow a hit from July 29 until September 14 last year. 18 straight innings. The stuff plays.
English
Is Bidois good? I have no idea
Those pitches were nasty, though.
English
@ChrisMuellerPGH But but but it was a lefty on lefty matchup
English
Who do you trust more? Mitch Keller, a largely good and reliable starter, or a member of your bullpen, which at this point is a kerosene-soaked rag next to a lit match?
Didn’t really have time to even first-guess it, but that felt like a move that had the potential to go bad.

BREAKING: Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium just announced the birth of a lion cub @TribLIVE 🦁 (born April 5th)
English
@geis_shane Bubba did not get off to a start like Hernandez has as a rookie. He had a 4.15 ERA in Bradenton in 2022 and 4.75 ERA the next year in Greensboro. It was always about the projectability, but even then, Hernandez boasts a 70 grade fastball. Chandler never had that type of hype.
English
@PlatinumKey13 Well I would take a single out to start 😂
English
I’m delusional enough to still believe the Pirates win this one because it would be the most baseball thing ever
Platinum Key@PlatinumKey13
I, too, am praying for a W tonight
English
@ItsBucnPrinny Obviously would take him back in a heartbeat but he hasn’t exactly been lights out either
English
They like the potential of Frankie in Boston, but Pittsburgh was willing to part with a prospect to bring in a veteran presence and clubhouse leader. Little Joe is headed to the Steel City.
Megan Swift@mgswift7
Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is set to trade gorillas with Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo. Frankie, Pittsburgh’s 7-year-old male western lowland gorilla, will head to Boston, and in exchange, Boston will send 33-year-old Little Joe the silverback @TribLIVE 🦍 triblive.com/local/regional…

@KonnorsCorner @1brightman1 Like a major league starter? I don’t know if we have any of those to dangle anymore
English
@1brightman1 He’s a guy id give up prospects and a starter for i will say that i just don’t see that happening
English
lmao of Adley comes to Pittsburgh i’ll personally build Ben and Bob a gold statue myself
MLB Live@MLBaseball_Live
There's an expectation - MLB could see a flurry of Elite or Superstar talent moved at this deadline - like a wild one My Blockbuster Trade Predictions: 1. Yordan Alvarez goes to Tampa Bay 2. Devers goes to the New York Yankees 3. Mike Trout goes to the Atlanta Braves 4. Adley Rutchman goes to Pittsburgh 5. Yordan Alvarez goes to TB Rays 6. Murakami goes across town to Cubs 7. Sonny Gray returns to the Athletics 8. Logan Webb is dealt to St. Louis for a haul that includes one of their top Catching prospects - one of their outfield prospects and a current ML Outfielder. 9. FTJ gets dealt to Toronto 10. The Dodgers land Gunnar Henderson

@TalkinYanks Ready and willing to start hating but that’s just a tough sequence

Spencer Jones strikes out on four pitches in his first major league at bat
English
@ddcitanul @CLUTCHINDRACS Same amount of yards on 50 fewer receptions 💀💀 but sure, all 30 of those extra TDs were from the goal line
English
@CLUTCHINDRACS This says Julio had more big plays and ab just had a ton of short touchdowns
English
AB vs Julio debate
Fans value physicals just as much as GMs do , the difference is that they can’t get fired for it

@SYRPENT @cheatonhimplz Oh sure, idk if they're green or blue or whatever. Just saying the color picker can be deceptive.
English
@pitt_propaganda @cheatonhimplz even just perceptually speaking, u can try to argue the right one LOOKS blue, but it still doesn't. tried to narrow down a search to avoid the very blatantly shopped colors but if ur human &'ve been out in the world u can tell which eyes are actually eyes colors that exist.
English
….. this is quite literally the worst example for you to prove this
Anastasia Volkova@thedutchessil
Incredible how much eye color makes a difference. Still beautiful in both but blue eyes make her pop. Interesting to learn the psychology behind this.
English
@SYRPENT @cheatonhimplz Blue eyes don't actually contain blue pigment though.
Can't really use a color picker for stuff like this because human eyes are gradients with reflections, shadows and mixed tones
English
@cheatonhimplz and it's funny 'cause they're not even blue in the edited pic, they're BOTH fucking green. I checked both eyes to see if it was even possible to claim the right eye was a light blue but nope, both are shades of green.
English
@NotHankDave I mean you sort of explained it. They want a player like him in the 26th man role, and it’s important for guys like Yorke and Garcia to play every day in the minors. (Cooke is fast though, gotta at least give him credit on the base path)
English
I’m convinced Billy Cook is just aura farming his way through baseball
Was never a high end prospect
Honestly his minor league numbers aren’t that impressive
He doesn’t field particularly well
He’s fast but not notably so
Can’t hit
Is redundant to Jake Mangum so he doesn’t even play often
But he’s still here. On the MLB roster
Good for you Billy Cook. Good for you
English
WRs that were better than Julio:
Rice
AB
Moss
TO
Fitz
Megatron

@MrNoFollowers2 @Jason2576921213 “What if they mess up a top 10 pick” okay? Any pick can be a bust. I just want them to be realistic about where they stand. Try to find a future. They’re directionless.
English
@Jason2576921213 What if they suck, draft 10th overall. And the best QB there is an equivalent to Kenny pickett, Mitch Tribisky, or Justin fields?
Stinking doesn't guarantee the draft pick with be good
English
Only franchise I can think of in sports that gets criticism for not trying to lose. Lmao.
Marcus Mosher@Marcus_Mosher
The 2027 draft is widely considered one of the best QB drafts in years. And yet, Pittsburgh is choosing the QB who is least likely to get them a top-10 pick, but also keeping them from being a relevant contender. Just an incredible lack of foresight.
English
@NorthShoreNine Incredible subtext in this graphic haha
English
@Kaden_s30 @Pirates I agree with you, but I suppose you could argue devil’s advocate that he looks very well rested here lol
English
@Pirates THATS WHY YOU KEEP HIM IN THE LINEUP!!!! GIVING HIM WAY TO MANY OFF DAYS AND PUTTING LESS CAPABLE BATS IN INSTEAD.
English
Does anyone want to join a Pittsburgh Pirates group chat? Pirates fans ONLY!
English
@NotHankDave I root for Hayes, too. But they have basically that same roster piece now in Triolo, and not like people are clamoring for him to get more starts.
English
I don’t “miss” Ke’bryan Hayes or anything like that. Our team is better without him tbh
But I do keep thinking about how when he was traded my feeling was less “he sucks” and more “he doesn’t fit with our roster”. I feel strongly that he is a massive asset provided that your hitting is strong enough to overcome how useless he is at the plate. Last year, we couldn’t afford to have a black hole in the lineup considering we already had several
But now? This is ironically the type of team that Hayes could’ve thrived on
