INJURIES

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, fighting an illness, has 2 hits after opting not to pitch vs. Pirates

Shohei Ohtani's next start on the mound is uncertain as he deals with a lingering illness

Works in relief Saturday Burrows struck out two and allowed one earned run on five hits over two innings of relief In Saturday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Though Burrows had been one of the team's top starters since the All-Star break with a 3.53 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over his previous seven outings, the Pirates opted to shift him to the bullpen this weekend. The role change was seemingly motivated by a desire to keep Burrows' workload in check, as the right-hander has already totaled 108.2 frames between the majors and minors in 2025 after accruing 54.2 innings in 2024 once he completed his recovery from his April 2023 Tommy John surgery. The Pirates haven't offered up a precise target for Burrows' innings count this season, and it's unclear if or when he might rejoin the rotation. Per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, the Pirates aren't listing Burrows among their starters for their three-game series with the Dodgers that begins Tuesday, so the 25-year-old appears set to remain in the bullpen for at least this week.

Not making start this week Pirates manager Don Kelly said that Burrows won't make a start during this weekend's series versus the Red Sox but should be available in relief, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Po...
Impact Burrows tossed four shutout innings in his most recent start against the Rockies this past Saturday to lower his ERA to 4.23, but Kelly said that the Pirates will skip the right-hander's turn through the rotation this week in an effort to manage his workload. After being limited to 54.2 total innings in 2024 due to a late start to the season while he completed his recovery from April 2023 Tommy John surgery, Burrows has already doubled up that total in 2025 between his stops with Pittsburgh and Triple-A Indianapolis. The Pirates haven't yet discussed shutting Burrows down for the season, though it's possible that the team's continued workload-management plan results in him missing out on another start or two in September.

Goes four scoreless in no-decision Burrows did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rockies, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five over four scoreless innings.
Impact Burrows threw 43 of 57 pitches for strikes and generated 10 whiffs but didn't last long enough to qualify for the win. It was the rookie's shortest outing since July 12, and with a career-high 105 frames already between the majors and Triple-A, his workload is likely being managed down the stretch. He'll take a 4.23 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 78:28 K:BB across 76.2 innings with the Pirates into a road matchup with the Cardinals next week.

Stingy in no-decision Burrows came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Impact The rookie right-hander left the mound after just 68 pitches (45 strikes), and the Pirates may be monitoring his workload given that he threw only 54.2 innings across all levels in 2024 and is already up to 102.2 innings between Triple-A and the majors this season. Burrows was showing signs of fatigue in his prior two outings, surrendering four homers and 10 runs in 9.2 frames, but he didn't give up an extra-base hit to the Cubs on Saturday. He'll look for his first win since June 4 in his next start, which currently lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rockies.

One bad frame derails outing Burrows did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 14-8 loss to the Reds, allowing four runs on three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five innings.
Impact Burrows was undone by a four-run third inning, capped by a three-run homer from Miguel Andujar. He was otherwise sharp, tossing three perfect frames and generating 13 whiffs on just 74 pitches. The 25-year-old will take a 4.66 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 69:25 K:BB across 67.2 innings into a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Tagged with six runs Burrows (1-4) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Giants.
Impact Burrows got through two frames unscathed before the Giants started teeing off. He gave up three home runs, including a two-run shot to Christian Koss in the third inning. Willy Adames ended up Burrows' night with a two-run homer in the fifth. Burrows was tagged with six runs against Minnesota on July 11 but had since given up only three runs over 17 innings before Tuesday's ugly outing. It was also the first time in his career that he allowed more than two home runs in an appearance. Burrows owns a 4.45 ERA with a 63:24 K:BB through 62.2 innings. He's projected to face the Reds at home this weekend.

Logs quality start in no-decision Burrows did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Giants, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.
Impact Burrows allowed a run in the fourth inning but was otherwise sharp, throwing 61 of 91 pitches for strikes while limiting the Giants to three singles. The young right-hander has turned in back-to-back quality starts and yielded just three earned runs over 17 frames in his past three outings. He'll carry a 3.88 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 60:21 K:BB across 58 innings into a home matchup with the Giants early next week.
