Pirates add bullpen depth by acquiring righty reliever Ron Marinaccio from Padres

The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired reliever Ron Marinaccio from San Diego on in exchange for signing bonus pool considerations

Dennis Santana - DFA'd by Pittsburgh The Pirates designated Santana for assignment Thursday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact The move frees a spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for the addition of Ron Marinaccio. Santana began 2026 high in the Pirates' bullpen hierarchy, but he has struggled with consistency all season and had allowed 10 runs in 7.1 innings this month. It's possible he'll draw interest via waivers, though his $3.5 million salary could be a deterrent for some clubs.

Nick Gonzales - Big day in twin bill Gonzales went 4-for-8 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Yankees.

Impact The infielder took Gerrit Cole deep in the matinee before accounting for two of the Pirates' three hits in the nightcap. Gonzales has six homer on the season, and three of them have come in July as he's compiled a dazzling .397/.461/.618 slash line through 17 games on the month with six doubles, 11 RBI and 14 runs.

Bubba Chandler - Quality start wasted in twin bill Chandler didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Yankees, allowing two hits and a walk over 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck o...

Impact The right-hander put together arguably his best outing of the season, firing 57 of 84 pitches for strikes in his third quality start of 2026, but he left the mound with the score tied 0-0 in an eventual 2-0 victory for New York. Chandler has given up two earned runs of fewer in five of his last seven trips to the mound, posting a 3.76 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB over 38.1 innings during that stretch. He'll look for his first win in July in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.

Gregory Soto - Collects 13th save Soto recorded his 13th save of the season in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Yankees, striking out one in a perfect 10th inning.

Impact The southpaw did send the phantom runner to third base on a wild pitch as he looked to protect a 5-3 lead, but Soto left him stranded thanks to two popups and a strikeout of Cody Bellinger. Soto has been struggling over the summer, blowing three of nine save chances since the beginning of June, but he may be turning things around in July, getting scored upon just once in six appearances while posting a 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB over 6.2 innings.

Impact The Pirates needed 10 innings to win the matinee, denying Keller his seventh win of the season despite a strong performance. The veteran righty has given up three earned runs or fewer in five of his last six outings, posting a 4.31 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB in 31.1 innings over that stretch. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.
