Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Lone source of offense
Gonzales went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.
Gonzales was the lone source of offense for Pittsburgh when he slugged a three-run home run in the sixth inning. After looking rusty in his return from the injured list in early June, he has at least one hit in five of his last six starts while tallying seven RBI with two home runs and four runs scored in that span.

Pirates' Andrew Heaney: Tagged with seven runs
Heaney (3-7) allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks over four-plus innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against Milwaukee.
Heaney delivered a pair of scoreless innings before his outing unraveled. He gave up three total home runs in the third and fourth frames, including two by Joey Ortiz. The Brewers tacked on another run in the fifth inning. Heaney has given up seven runs across four innings in back-to-back starts, driving his season ERA up from 3.33 to 4.48 through 86.1 innings. He hasn't won a start since May 21, going 0-4 with a 6.46 in six outings since then. Heaney is expected to face the Cardinals at home next week.

Pirates' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Officially promoted

Pirates' Hunter Stratton: Optioned to Indy
The Pirates optioned Stratton to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
After giving up three runs in one inning Monday, Stratton will return to the minors, where he owns a 3.91 ERA through 23 innings. Michael Darrell-Hicks will come up from Triple-A to fill the open bullpen spot.

Pirates' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Poised for promotion
The Pirates will recall Darrell-Hicks from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
He'll take the roster spot of Hunter Stratton. Darrell-Hicks was a waiver claim earlier this month and has allowed eight runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 7.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

Pirates' Isaac Mattson: Solid in high-leverage spot
Mattson allowed one hit and struck out three across 1.2 scoreless innings to earn a hold Monday against the Brewers.
The Pirates deployed a bullpen approach Monday, and Mattson was tasked with holding the lead in the seventh and eighth innings. He faced the top five hitters in the Brewers' order and allowed only a single to William Contreras. Mattson could be a candidate to see more consistent high-leverage spots moving forward, as he delivered a 9:2 K:BB across 10.1 innings while allowing only two earned runs with a 0.58 WHIP since being recalled June 7.

Pirates' Tommy Pham: Smacks first homer
Pham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Monday against the Brewers.
Pham has had a disastrous season in Pittsburgh, and he finally managed to slug his first home run of the campaign in the fourth inning Monday. He had recorded only four extra-base hits across his first 51 games entering Sunday's contest against the Rangers, but he has combined for three extra-base hits in the two contests since. Pham has lost his starting role in left field to a combination of Adam Frazier and Alexander Canario, though this brief hot stretch could earn him some additional looks in the lineup.

Pirates' Hunter Stratton: Expected to be sent down
The Pirates will option Stratton to Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Stratton was roughed up for three runs over an inning Monday in Milwaukee and will head back to the minors a day after the appearance. It's not yet clear who the Pirates will be adding to the roster in Stratton's place.

Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: On base twice in win
Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 with a triple, an RBI and a walk Monday against the Brewers.
Kiner-Faelfa delivered the game-winning run on an RBI triple in the sixth inning, his first extra-base hit since June 10. He's had a tough month, going 13-for-64 with five RBI, one stolen base and one run scored across 20 games. Despite the struggles, Kiner-Falefa remains the Pirates' everyday shortstop.

Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Collects five hits in win
Gonzales went 5-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Monday's 5-4 win versus Milwaukee.
The Pittsburgh second baseman completed the first Pirates five-hit game performance since Oneil Cruz accomplished the feat Aug. 2, 2024. In the process, Gonzales roped his second and third two-baggers of the season as he raised his average from .271 to .320 across 19 total games. The 26-year-old has been locked into a starting role at second base since returning from an ankle injury June 3.

Pirates' David Bednar: Secures 11th save
Bednar earned the save in Monday's 5-4 victory over the Brewers, allowing a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning with one strikeout.
After yielding a leadoff single to Caleb Durbin, Bednar was bailed out when Durbin was caught attempting to steal second. The Pittsburgh closer then worked around a free pass to Jake Bauers to lock down his 95th career save. Since being recalled from the minor leagues April 19, Bednar has rounded back into All-Star form with a 2.10 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 37:5 K:BB over 25.2 innings while going a perfect 10-for-10 in save opportunities.

Pirates' Braxton Ashcraft: Goes three frames in first start
Ashcraft did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 win at Milwaukee, allowing one hit and no walks over three scoreless innings with two strikeouts.
The 25-year-old rookie made all seven of his previous appearances out of the bullpen, so he wasn't expected to go deep in this contest. Ashcraft managed to stymy the Brewers lineup across his 35 total pitches, 28 of which were strikes. Prior to being called up May 26, the right-hander had started 10 games for Triple-A Indianapolis, so it is possible that the Pirates are seeking to incorporate Ashcraft into the big league rotation. Through 14.2 total major-league innings, he has pitched to a 1.23 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB.

Pirates' Jack Brannigan: Sidelined at Double-A
Double-A Altoona placed Brannigan on its 7-day injured list June 14 due to an unspecified injury.
The 24-year-old shortstop slashed .225/.329/.358 with five home runs and nine stolen bases over 237 plate appearances for Altoona this season before landing on the shelf.

Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: On shelf at Triple-A
Triple-A Indianapolis placed Bae on its 7-day injured list May 23 due to an unspecified injury.
After a week-long stint in the majors, Bae was optioned to Triple-A on May 16, but he appeared in just one game for Indianapolis before being placed on the shelf. He looks close to rejoining the Indianapolis lineup, as he began a rehab assignment at Single-A Bradenton last Wednesday and went 3-for-12 with a double and a walk through his first four games.

Pirates' Matt Gorski: Injured at Triple-A
Triple-A Indianapolis transferred Gorski from its 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Friday while he recovers from an undisclosed injury.
Gorski hasn't played for Indianapolis since May 23, so his move to the 60-day IL ensures that he'll remain on the shelf through the All-Star break. Before getting shut down at Indianapolis, Gorski got the chance to make his big-league debut with the Pirates earlier this season. The 27-year-old slashed .195/.214/.390 with two home runs in 42 plate appearances for Pittsburgh before he was optioned to Triple-A on May 17.

Pirates' Sean Sullivan: Struggling early on at Triple-A
Sullivan owns a 5.87 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB in 7.2 innings over his three appearances since being promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on June 10.
Sullivan opened the season on Double-A Altoona's injured list while he recovered from an elbow injury that cropped up in spring training, but he was cleared to make his 2025 Eastern League debut in early May after completing a six-appearance rehab assignment between Single-A Bradenton and High-A Greensboro. After turning in a 1.15 WHIP, 0.70 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB in 15.2 innings over seven appearances with Altoona, the 24-year-old earned the move up to Triple-A.
