Isiah Kiner-Falefa

PIT Shortstop #7

Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, a run scored, and two RBI on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Kiner-Falefa and the Pirates got off to a great start in this one: both of his extra-base hits came in the first two innings as the lead-off hitter and helped the Pirates get up to an early 4-0 lead. Then, oddly, he was asked to bunt with two on in the ninth and popped it up right back to the pitcher for the first out of the inning. He’s drifted back into a utility role after being traded to Pittsburgh with just two starts since being traded last Tuesday. They have come in consecutive games though, so he may become a fixture in their lineup soon enough.
Paul Skenes

PIT Starting Pitcher #30

Paul Skenes allowed five hits and two runs on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He walked three and struck out four in a no-decision.

This was the most uncomfortable Skenes has looked on the mound in months and he still shut the Diamondbacks red-hot lineup out for the first five innings. His splinker kept drifting glove-side and he struggled to spot any of his pitches. He looked as frustrated as one can be when they only let one batter to second base through five innings and kept making a cutting motion with his right hand as his pitches continued to miss east and went. This was his second straight start where he walked at least three batters after not doing so in any of his first 12 starts.
Ji Hwan Bae

PIT Second Baseman #3

Ji Hwan Bae is in the starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Bae missed four games while dealing with soreness in his knee. The speedy outfielder will hit seventh and patrol center field, and he essentially takes the lineup spot of Andrew McCutchen; who is out with tightness in his left quad.
Andrew McCutchen

PIT Center Fielder #22

Andrew McCutchen is not in the lineup Sunday to tightness in his left quad

McCutchen left Saturday’s tilt against the Diamondbacks with the tightness, and he’ll miss at least one more game. Consider the 37-year-old former MVP day-to-day for now.
Andrew McCutchen

PIT Center Fielder #22

Andrew McCutchen was diagnosed with left quad tightness after being removed from Saturday night’s battle against the Diamondbacks.

He is currently being treated by the Pirates’ medical staff. McCutchen suffered the injury while running out of the batter’s box on his single in the sixth inning. He’ll continue to be evaluated, but for the time being he’s being listed as day-to-day. Don’t be surprised if he sits out on Sunday as a precautionary measure.
Bryan Reynolds

PIT Center Fielder #10

Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and two walks to lead the Pirates to a 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Reynolds drew a walk in the third inning, then launched a two-run homer to give the Pirates the lead in the sixth off Slade Cecconi. He later reached once more with a walk in the eighth. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .287/.355/.485 with 19 homers, 51 runs scored, 65 RBI, and six steals across 473 plate appearances.
Joey Bart

PIT Catcher #14

Joey Bart went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and two RBI against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Bart drove in the first run of the game, putting the Pirates on the board with a solo homer off Jordan Montgomery in the second inning. He later extended the Pittsburgh lead with a single in the sixth to drive in a run. The 27-year-old catcher is hitting .271/.358/.496 with eight homers and 27 RBI across 148 plate appearances.
David Bednar

PIT Relief Pitcher #51

David Bednar allowed one run with two strikeouts in the ninth inning against the Diamondbacks to record the save on Saturday.

Bednar entered in the top of the ninth to close out the game against Arizona with a three-run lead. He recorded two quick strikeouts to start the frame before giving up a run on a double, walk, and base hit. Bednar then got Alek Thomas to fly out to center field to end the game and secure his 20th save.
Mitch Keller

PIT Starting Pitcher #23

Mitch Keller tossed four scoreless innings with four strikeouts in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Keller’s excellent outing was cut short by a rain delay in Pittsburgh. He had tossed four scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks, scattering one hit and two walks while striking out four batters. He’s now allowed just three runs over 18 innings across his last three starts. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 3.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 118/36 K/BB ratio across 132 1/3 innings into a start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday.
Andrew McCutchen

PIT Center Fielder #22

Andrew McCutchen was removed from Saturday’s game against the Diamondbacks in the sixth inning due to an apparent leg injury.

The 37-year-old smacked a single in the sixth inning but was slow getting out of the box and hobbled on his way to first base before being replaced by a pinch-runner. He’ll head for further evaluation to see exactly what’s going on and to determine the severity of the injury.
