The team’s pitching rotation is taking another hit, as hurler Bailey Falter is now <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40513921/pirates-bailey-falter-15-day-il-triceps-tendonitis" rel="noopener">on the injured list</a>, per ESPN. The pitcher is dealing with triceps tendonitis.</p><p>Falter is the latest Pirates pitcher to get knocked out with an injury. Jared Jones was just placed on the injured list, due to a strain. Pittsburgh is trying to battle its way to a .500 record this season, and a spot in the National League Wild Card conversation. It feels like two steps forward, one step back with the injuries that are pestering the Bucs.</p><p>Falter lasted only two innings on Saturday, in a game against the New York Mets. He allowed three runs on five hits in his disappointing outing.</p><p>“I just obviously wanted to try to stay in the game for as much as possible, just to give the bullpen a little break,” Falter said after the game, per ESPN. “But I noticed a little discomfort in the warmup pitches in the third. Didn’t really throw too many strikes. It kind of flared up after that and I kind of just lost feel for [the strike zone].”</p><p>The Pirates are bringing in another pitcher to try and get some consistency. The team is recalling Brent Honeywell Jr. from Triple-A Indianapolis, to shore up the rotation. He posted a 4.85 ERA in Indianapolis.</p><p>“I want to win,” Honeywell said, per ESPN. “I think we all want to win. I think it’s the biggest thing to me. It’s a good club, man. I think the main thing is keeping them going where they’re at right now. Just kind of move right into being a cog in the machine and help them win.</p><p>“I think the biggest thing is guys do come down [to Triple-A], go up. That’s just how baseball is. But the biggest thing is it’s always good to see guys when they come down, but it’s also like, ‘Eh, I wish you were up there.’ We talk about it. Winning first, I think that’s the biggest thing.”</p><h2>Pittsburgh needs consistency moving forward</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aroldis-Chapman.jpg"><figcaption>Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Pittsburgh has flirted with a .500 record for close to two months, but just can’t put the wins together to get there. The team has a lot of talent, especially at the top of the rotation. Paul Skenes<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-paul-skenes-continues-mlb-rise-with-historic-game-vs-mets"> is dominating</a> in his 10 starts, and Mitch Keller is proving he still has plenty of power in his arm. Reliever Aroldis Chapman has also put together some solid performances, but he’s not been making as many appearances as fans hoped.</p><p>The team’s offense <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/what-pirates-perfect-trade-deadline-looks-like">is also inconsistent</a>. The club is <a href="https://www.mlb.com/stats/team/hits" rel="noopener">24th in hits</a> in Major League Baseball, per league stats. The team is also 21st in runs batted in, and 18th in home runs. The team needs offense and that should be an area of focus heading into trade deadline talks for the club. The Pirates have work to do to get back into the MLB playoffs. The franchise has made just a handful of postseason appearances after Barry Bonds left the team in 1992.</p><p>Pittsburgh plays the Mets again on Sunday. That game is ongoing at time of writing.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5553919/2024/06/11/mlb-trade-deadline-rumors-50-days-out/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">looking to add offense</a> with the surprise success of Bucs pitchers Paul Skenes and Jared Jones, per the Athletic.</p><p>The Pirates have long struggled in the National League, with just a handful of winning seasons in the last 30 years. The team’s front office is thinking some more strong bats in the lineup will help the team contend for the playoffs this year and moving forward. The Pirates are explicitly looking for outfielders, per the outlet. Pittsburgh has a 31-34 record this season heading into Tuesday’s action.</p><h2><b>Pirates pitching this year</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Paul-Skenes-pitches-a-baseball.jpg"><figcaption>Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Buccos <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-paul-skenes-signature-pitch-gets-gross-take-from-jared-jones">have found an ace</a> in Paul Skenes, who was an overall no. 1 MLB draft pick in 2023. Skenes has put in some memorable performances already in his first year on the mound. Skenes whiffed 11 Chicago Cubs batters in a game earlier this season. He also memorably threw hard at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani, striking out the slugger on three consecutive pitches of more than 100 mph.</p><p>On the season, Skenes has a 3.00 ERA. He also has a 3-0 record in five appearances for the team. The former LSU baseball hurler has quickly become a fan favorite in the Steel City, attracting large crowds for every mound appearance.</p><p>The Pirates have another solid hurler in Jared Jones. Jones is another young gun on the mound, playing his first MLB season this year. He has a 3.27 ERA on the campaign. He has appeared in 13 games for Pittsburgh, with a 4-5 record. He famously struck out 10 batters for the Bucs in a powerful performance against the Colorado Rockies in early May. He threw a one-hitter in that game, working seven innings. Jones did struggle in his last appearance, giving up 3 runs in five innings to the Minnesota Twins.</p><p>The team feels that with these two young hurlers alongside Mitch Keller, the team is close to being able to contend.</p><h2><b>Pirates’ season</b></h2><p>Pittsburgh started out the year with such promise. The team rattled off five consecutive wins to start the season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-henry-davis-call-up-blue-jays-loss">but soon faded</a>. The team is struggling to get to .500 on the campaign heading into a game Tuesday. The Pirates are last in the NL Central.</p><p>The Pirates have long had one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, so fans shouldn’t expect big names to be added at the deadline. The team, however, is looking to get some upgrades in the outfield, from what they have now. One Pirate rumored to be on the move before the deadline is reliever Aroldis Chapman, who joined the team this past offseason. Time will tell what the Buccos decide to do. Fans hope whatever changes get made help the team. The Pirates have long had a history of dealing away players that fans have loved, with little success given in return.</p><p>The Pirates battle the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The game starts at 7:45 PM Eastern.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His latest start set records and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-paul-skenes-gets-major-confidence-boost-jeff-passan">showed the Pirates</a> once again that Jones is here to stay.</p><p>Taking on the New York Mets, Jones pitched five innings of scoreless baseball, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out seven. The right-hander joined Masahiro Tanaka, Stephen Strasburg and Jose DeLeon <a href="https://twitter.com/SlangsOnSports/status/1780398176601588208">as the only pitchers</a> since 1983 to have seven or more strikeouts through their first four MLB starts, via Sarah Langs of MLB.com.</p><p>Jones’ fiery start to the campaign has led to a 3.13 ERA and a sparkling 32/2 K/BB ratio. He leads the Pirates in strikeouts and ranks third in ERA amongst pitchers with 10+ innings thrown. Jones also has the fewest amount of walks on the team under the same parameters.</p><p>Pittsburgh has been holding their weight to begin the year, sharing the NL Central lead with an 11-7 record. They’ll continue to need their young stars to shine bright if they hope to have continual success throughout the season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2024-fantasy-baseball-top-waiver-wire-pickups-week-2">Jared Jones has shown</a> no signs of slowing down and will look to continue his strong rookie season.</p><p>The only difference between him, Tanaka, Strasburg and DeLeon is that the latter three did it in their first five MLB starts.

His minor league debut wasn’t the cleanest, as despite a strong 103/34 K/BB ratio, Jones held a 4.64 ERA. Year two brought the same strengths and weaknesses with a 142/51 K/BB ratio and a 4.62 ERA.</p><p>But once Jones hit Double-A, he began to find his stride. Over 10 starts he held a 2.23 ERA and a 47/16 K/BB ratio. Whether he shined or struggled, Jones’ <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/pirates/">potential always reigned supreme</a>. He went from being the team’s No. 17 prospect in 2021, to No. 12 in 2022, No. 11 in 2023 and eventually No. 4 entering the 2024 season, via MLB Pipeline.</p><p>The Pirates knew they had a desperate need for starting pitchers after the 2023 campaign. While Mitch Keller broke out, Pittsburgh still finished the year ranked 22nd in the league with a 4.60 ERA. They didn’t have much of a strikeout punch, ranking 21st with 1,363.</p><p>While it’s still early, Pittsburgh ranks ninth in ERA (3.64) and 15th in strikeouts (153). Jones has played a large role in the Pirates’ pitching resurgence.</p><p>But four starts, no matter how good they are, don’t make up a strong campaign. Jones will need to continue performing to claim his spot in the rotation long-term. Still, the early results have been impressive and point to a bright present and future for Jones.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
