Fans six in no-decision Burrows didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Marlins after giving up two runs on four hits and three walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out six.
Impact Burrows tied his season high in punchouts, but he did issue a season-high three free passes. The 25-year-old right-hander has yet to deliver a quality start or even reach the sixth inning in any of his four outings, but he has conceded just two runs to go with an encouraging 12:3 K:BB over his last 9.2 innings. Burrows has a 5.00 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB through 18 frames overall, and he's in for a difficult assignment his next time out against the first-place Cubs.

Blanks Houston for first win Burrows (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Astros, allowing five hits over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Impact It was an impressive showing from Burrows, who had allowed eight earned runs in just 8.1 innings across his first two starts this year. The 25-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 5.27 with a 1.32 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB through 13.2 innings. Burrows likely earned another look in the Pirates rotation with his performance Wednesday -- he tentatively lines up for a home matchup with the Marlins.

Escapes with no-decision Burrows allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Impact Burrows' second major-league start was a little worse than his first. He gave up a solo home run to Corbin Carroll in the first inning and then ran into trouble in the fourth. Burrows would have taken a second loss were it not for the Pirates' offense rallying ahead in a massive eighth inning. Burrows has given up nine runs (eight earned) with a 5:4 K:BB across 8.1 innings over his first two starts. Should he stay in the rotation, he is tentatively projected to make his next appearance at home versus the Astros.

Making another start Burrows is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
Impact While making his first MLB start this past Thursday against the Brewers, Burrows was dealt a loss after giving up four earned runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. Though his results were disappointing, Burrows will get at least one chance to build some security in the Pittsburgh rotation when he faces the Diamondbacks. Since the beginning of May, Arizona hitters have produced a 121 wRC+ against right-handed pitching, so Burrows will represent a risky streaming option on the road.

Hurt by long ball in season debut Burrows (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Brewers after allowing four runs on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.
Impact Thursday marked the first major-league start of the season and second career outing for Burrows, who struggled to keep the ball in the yard against Milwaukee. The 25-year-old right-hander served up two home runs, and he got an ordinary nine whiffs. Burrows sports a 2.51 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB over 32.1 innings for Triple-A Indianapolis in 2025, but he'll be tough to trust in his next scheduled turn against an Arizona team that boasts an .812 OPS versus right-handers through their first 50 games.

Promoted ahead of start Thursday The Pirates recalled Burrows from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Impact Pittsburgh had been expected to wait until Thursday to make Burrows' promotion official, but he'll join the big club a day in advance of his first MLB start Thursday against the Brewers at PNC Park. He'll be joining the rotation as a replacement for righty Carmen Mlodzinski, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old righty has been a standout performer at Indianapolis this season, logging a 2.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB across 30 innings.

Set to join big-league rotation The Pirates plan to recall Burrows from Triple-A Indianapolis to start Thursday's game against the Brewers at PNC Park, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact Burrows will be joining the big-league rotation as a replacement for Carmen Mlodzinski, who is expected to be optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Though he's been part of a prospect-laden rotation at Indianapolis that includes Bubba Chandler, Thomas Harrington and Braxton Ashcraft, Burrows has been as impressive as any of the lot this season. Over his seven outings (six starts), Burrows has delivered a 2.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB in 30 innings. He'll have a chance to build some security in the Pittsburgh rotation if he's able to deliver a credible outing against the Brewers in what will be his first MLB start.
