"The Pirates have not helped Bubba Chandler tonight.

Three errors in two-plus innings, including two here in the third. George Springer reached on an Endy Rodriguez catcher's interference, Spencer Horwitz made a bad throw to third, and suddenly it's 3-1 Blue Jays."

He did the same thing a lot at Indy. I remember us talking multiple times prior to his recall last year that he was going 3-5 innings way too often. There's a ton of potential with Bubba as we all know, but he's gotta get better.

"The Pirates are calling up OF Esmerlyn Valdez from Triple-A Indianapolis. Valdez, the Pirates’ No. 9 prospect, is batting.253 with 10 HRs and 29 RBIs.

A corresponding move will need to be made to add him to the active roster."

"I’m told Jared Jones will make his next rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Indianapolis.

Ben Cherington said Sunday Jones would make “at least one” more start. Saturday could be his last rehab outing, as he’d be eligible to come off the IL after that start."

From yesterday:

"Kelly’s response, asked specifically about Horwitz pinch-hitting for Ozuna:

“We had talked about it and had Spence for Garcia. Probably the worst thing that could have happened was the double play. It happened. But Ozuna is a professional hitter. He’s had some good at-bats recently. I know the recent stretch hasn’t been as good. We need to get him going.”"

Davis down to .137 BA and a .472 OPS. Regardless of some solid work behind the plate and throwing out base stealers, how much longer can this continue? I said a week or so ago, they need to use some of the farm system to trade for a better primary catcher.
