GAME LOG
Ohtani scratched from start, expected to pitch this weekend Shohei Ohtani was scratched from his scheduled start on the mound for the Dodgers on Wednesday in Pittsburgh, though he remained in the line...
SEPTEMBER 3 • MLB.COM
Dodgers fans panicking after team's decision on Shohei Ohtani for Wednesday's game The Los Angeles Dodgers may have themselves a Shohei Ohtani problem after he was scratched from his start against the Pirates.
SEPTEMBER 3 • DODGERSWAY.COM
Dodgers Make Late Change to Shohei Ohtani Pitching Plan for Wednesday's Game vs. Pirates Ohtani was originally set to make a start in Pittsburgh.

Henry Davis - Exiting starting nine Davis is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact It's a routine day off after Davis started at catcher each of the previous two contests. Joey Bart will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Pirates in Wednesday's series finale.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Devanney - Third straight start at hot corner Devanney is starting at third base and batting ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.
Impact It marks the third straight start Devanney has received at the hot corner since Isiah Kiner-Falefa exited the team via waivers. Devanney has gone 0-for-7 with five strikeouts so far, and his leash is likely short, but he's at the top of the third-base depth chart for the Pirates right now.

Andrew McCutchen - On base three times McCutchen went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Dodgers.
Impact McCutchen kept a Pirates' rally going in the first inning with an RBI single and reached base for the sixth straight game. He hasn't hit for much power but has otherwise remained productive, recording 16 RBI and nine runs scored across 22 games since Aug. 1. McCutchen remains a near-everyday player, but he could lose some at-bats down the stretch if the Pirates hope to get extra playing time for the likes of Nick Yorke or Cam Devanney.

Nick Yorke - Draws start against lefty Yorke went 1-for-2 on Tuesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Yorke was called up to the majors when rosters expanded and made his first appearance of 2025. He started at first base and hit seventh with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound and tallied his first hit in the opening frame. Yorke could settle into a short-side platoon with Spencer Horwitz at first base.

Nick Yorke - Draws start against lefty Yorke went 1-for-2 on Tuesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Yorke was called up to the majors when rosters expanded and made his first appearance of 2025. He started at first base and hit seventh with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound and tallied his first hit in the opening frame. Yorke looks to be in a small-side platoon with Spencer Horwitz at first base.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Tommy Pham - Piling up RBI Pham went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Pham accounted for most of his production in the first inning with a two-RBI double. The performance extended his hitting streak to six games, and he has at least one hit in 11 of his last 13 games. In that 13-game span, Pham has 14 RBI and nine runs scored while hitting .292.

Did Pirates Give Up On Struggling Star Too Soon? Ke'Bryan Hayes has enjoyed an immediate resurgence since being traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Cincinnati Reds.
SEPTEMBER 3 • SPORTSNETPITTSBURGH.COM
Jared Triolo - Leads charge in Tuesday's win Triolo went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Dodgers.
Impact The 27-year-old infielder was a force at the top of the lineup, producing his eighth multi-hit performance since Aug. 15. Over that 17-game stretch, Triolo is slashing .375/.485/.625 with nine extra-base hits (six doubles, a triple and two homers) in addition to five steals, seven RBI and 12 runs. While he won't maintain that blistering pace, Triolo has shown flashes of offensive upside in the past, and he could be establishing a foothold in the Pirates' 2026 plans.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Santana - Secures 12th save Santana gave up one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning Tuesday to record his 12th save of the season in a 9-7 win over the Dodgers.
Impact The right-hander had plenty of cushion, allowing him to convert his sixth straight save chance. Since a shaky five-run outing at Coors Field in his first appearance following David Bednar's trade to the Yankees, Santana has looked the part of the Pirates' closer, posting a 2.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over his last 12.1 innings.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Bubba Chandler - Nabs second win Chandler (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday over the Dodgers, giving up three runs on six hits over four relief innings in a 9-7 victory. He struck out three without walking a batter.
Impact Entering the game in the third inning to piggyback Carmen Mlodzinski once again, Chandler racked up an impressive 22 called or swinging strikes on only 50 pitches (34 total strikes), but he also served up his first two homers in the majors, getting taken deep by Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages. Through his first three appearances with the Pirates, Chandler has lasted exactly four innings each time, producing a 2.25 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB. If the Bucs maintain that piggyback arrangement, the duo will be lined up to take the mound again this weekend at home against the Brewers -- setting up a potential marquee matchup of flame-throwing rookies between Chandler and Jacob Misiorowski.
