Pittsburgh Pirates Recall Hunter Stratton to Roster on April 29, 2025

The Pirates have called up a relief pitcher with no current season stats to their roster. This move comes ahead of their game against the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park. The addition of a new reliever might affect other bullpen members like Caleb Ferguson and Chase Shugart.

With Stratton's recall, the Pirates are making adjustments in their pitching lineup. Key players in the starting lineup for the next game include Ke'Bryan Hayes with a .235 average and Andrew McCutchen with a .276 average. The Pirates aim to strengthen their bullpen as they prepare for the upcoming home game.
