The Pirates drag a five-game losing streak with them into today’s afternoon game in Chicago. Joe Block has a preview.
The Pirates have not named any of their pitchers yet for the series. It would be Mike Burrows’ start if manager Don Kelly sticks to his current rotation.
Meanwhile, with a hole in their rotation, the Bucs still have not promoted Bubba Chandler, their top pitching prospect and a former MLB Pipeline overall number one. Chandler tells The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he’s frustrated with being stuck in Indianapolis watching lower-rated prospects get promoted ahead of him. Even though he’s struggled lately, he says he is ready and he knows he can help the Pirates.
