The Pittsburgh Pirates get to enjoy a day off on Thursday after taking a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays with a 2-1 win on Wednesday afternoon.

Johan Oviedo returned to the mound and looked sharp, but the biggest news of the day took place shortly before first pitch.

The Pirates will be promoting top pitching prospect Bubba Chandler to the big leagues prior to Friday’s game against the Colorado Rockies. Finally, some would say.

As always, there’s a lot to talk about with the Pirates. From Oviedo, to Chandler, to Konnor Griffin, the team’s 2025 Hall of Fame class and understandable lingering fan frustration. And more.
