Alika Williams - On bench Tuesday Williams is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Impact Williams had some big hits at the beginning of August, but the 24-year-old is slashing just .191/.269/.234 through his first 52 major-league plate appearances. Liover Peguero will start at shortstop for the Pirates on Tuesday as Jared Triolo covers second base.

Endy Rodríguez - Takes seat Tuesday Rodriguez is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

Impact Jason Delay will start at catcher and bat ninth with left-hander David Peterson readying to take the bump for New York. The switch-hitting Rodriguez has batted .200 with a .494 OPS in 17 plate appearances against southpaws. He carries a .771 OPS in 62 plate appearances against righties.

Yohan Ramirez - Recalled from Triple-A Pittsburgh recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Impact Ramirez will return to a multi-inning relief role with the Pirates ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Mets. He carries a 4.25 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 23 appearances this season at the MLB level.

Quinn Priester - Sent back to Triple-A Pittsburgh optioned Priester to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Impact Priester got a six-start run in the Pirates' starting rotation and struggled to a 9.10 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB across 28.2 innings. It's uncertain whether the 22-year-old right-hander will get another look in the majors before the end of the 2023 season. Yohan Ramirez has been called up in a corresponding move.

Cody Bolton - Sent back to minors Bolton was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

Impact Bolton had been up as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader versus the Reds, tossing a scoreless frame in the nightcap. He's struggled on the whole during his time with the Pirates this season, allowing 11 runs with a 10:11 K:BB over 11 innings.

Quinn Priester - Falls to Mets Priester (2-2) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings against the Mets. He struck out three.

Impact Priester threw a season-high 102 pitches though he'd allow at least one run in each of his five innings. It's been a rough start to Priester's big-league career -- his ERA is now up to 9.10 with a 1.92 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB through his first six starts (28.2 innings). While the rebuilding Pirates can afford to give the 22-year-old right-hander an extended look in the rotation, Priester doesn't appear ready to be a reliable option against major-league lineups. His next start is tentatively scheduled for this weekend in Minnesota.

Andre Jackson - Yields three runs Jackson allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over 3.2 innings in a loss to the Reds during Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader. He struck out five and did not factor in the de...

Impact Jackson made his first career MLB start and needed 78 pitches to record just 11 outs. He entered Sunday's game with an eight-inning scoreless streak and lost it in the second inning when Luke Maile knocked a two-run double. Jackson's ERA climbed to 5.47 with a 28:5 K:BB through 26.1 innings. He's currently expected to make a start in Minnesota, though it's unclear if the Pirates will move him back to the bullpen or not.

Bryan Reynolds - Goes deep twice Reynolds went 2-for-5 with two solo homers in a loss to the Reds during Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Reynolds went 0-for-4 in the first game of the doubleheader but made up for it with two long balls in the second. It's been a streaky year for the 28-year-old outfielder but he's been heating back up recently. Over his last 21 games, Reynolds is slashing .326/.376/.628 with eight homers. His season OPS is back up to .801 with 43 extra-base hits across 450 plate appearances.

David Bednar - Earns 24th save Bednar allowed a hit in a scoreless inning during Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against Cincinnati. He struck out two and earned a save.

Impact Bednar gave up five runs over his previous three appearances but finally snapped out of the rut Sunday. He needed just 12 pitches to close out the 4-2 victory. Bednar has now converted 24 of his 27 save chances this season while registering a 2.03 ERA and a 59:15 K:BB through 48.2 frames.

He coughed up eight homers in his five previous outings since July 8, resulting in a brutal 9.11 ERA. Keller lowered his season ERA to 4.27 with a 161:46 K:BB across 149.2 innings. His next start is lined up to be in Minnesota.
