Quinn Priester - Getting another start Monday Priester is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Padres in San Diego.
Impact Priester was roughed up for seven earned runs on seven hits and two walks in his MLB debut July 17 against Cleveland, but he was at least able to save the Pirates' bullpen to some degree by covering 5.1 innings. Despite the poor showing last week, Priester will get another chance to prove he's worthy of sticking around as the Bucs' No. 5 starter. He'll return to the hill Monday on six days' rest.

Jack Suwinski - Sitting versus southpaw Suwinski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazettereports.

Endy Rodríguez - Smacks first big-league homer Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Angels.
Impact Rodriguez's first big-league homer came in the sixth inning to close out the scoring. After opening his Pirates career 0-for-7, he's hit safely in each of his last three games. The catcher has also struck out nine times in 17 plate appearances so far, so he still has some adjusting to do. Rodriguez is expected to learn on the job with a majority of the playing time behind the plate, with veteran Austin Hedges serving as his backup.

David Bednar - Pitches out of trouble for save Bednar walked two and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Angels.
Impact Bednar loaded the bases with one out, but got Trey Cabbage to hit into a game-ending double play. This was the fourth time in his last nine appearances that Bednar's allowed multiple baserunners. The closer is up to 19 saves this season while maintaining an excellent 1.15 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 47:9 K:BB through 39 innings.
JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Osvaldo Bido - Picks up win as primary pitcher Bido (2-1) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out three over three scoreless innings, earning the win Saturday over the Angels.
Impact Bido needed 56 pitches (35 strikes) to cover three frames, but he was part of a five-pitcher shutout. The right-hander had struggled in his last outing, surrendering three runs over 2.2 innings against the Giants last Sunday. His pitch count has been trending down in July, which suggests he could see more work behind an opener if he remains in the majors. Bido has a 4.50 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB through 30 innings over eight appearances (six starts). He's lined up to make his next outing at home versus the Phillies if he continues to occupy a rotation spot.

Malcom Nunez - Cleared for rehab games Nunez (shoulder) was cleared Saturday to begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact If all goes well, he should be able to return from the injured list at Triple-A Indianapolis before the end of July. The 22-year-old had caught fire just prior to injuring his right shoulder in May, but he carries an underwhelming .260/.351/.377 overall batting line in 160 plate appearances this season in the International League.
JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Suwinski - Sitting versus lefty Suwinski is not in the lineup Saturday versus the Angels.
Impact Suwinski slugged a two-run homer Friday, his 20th home run of the year, but he'll take a seat Saturday as the Pirates face off against left-hander Reid Detmers. Connor Joe, Bryan Reynolds and Henry Davis are starting across the outfield.
JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dauri Moreta - Three strikeouts in clean outing Moreta allowed zero hits and zero walks while striking out three over 1.1 scoreless innings Friday against the Angels.
Impact Following a rough June that saw him allow 10 runs over 10 innings, Moreta has allowed only one run with a 0.72 WHIP and 13 strikeouts through 8.1 July innings. While currently holding a middle-relief role in Pittsburgh, continued impactful outings could lead to a rise in role if the Pirates trade away closer David Bednar and/or setup man Colin Holderman continues to struggle.
