Isiah Kiner-Falefa - Taking seat Tuesday Kiner-Falefa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

Oneil Cruz - Remains out of Pittsburgh lineup Cruz (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis.
Impact It's the second straight start Cruz has missed after he had to leave Sunday's tilt against the Royals with left ankle soreness. He is considered day-to-day. Michael Taylor will occupy center field as the Pirates try to even the series.

Paul Skenes - Tagged with tough luck loss Skenes (10-3) took the loss Monday against the Cardinals. He allowed one run on four hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out seven.
Impact The Pirates failed to give Skenes any run support Monday, which spoiled an otherwise strong start by the rookie. Skenes continues to impress, as he now has 15 quality starts in his first 21 career appearances. The 22-year-old has been fantastic as of late, allowing just four earned runs in his previous five starts combined. Skenes' ERA sits at a minuscule 2.07 with a 0.98 WHIP and 158 K through 126 innings.

Nick Gonzales - Exiting lineup Monday Gonzales is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Gonzales will head to the bench as the Pirates make room in the lineup at second base for prospect Nick Yorke, who was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis. Though the Pirates will likely give Yorke a look in a near-everyday role over the final two weeks of the season, he has experience at shortstop, third base and all three outfield spots, so he won't necessarily bump Gonzales out of the everyday lineup. Gonzales had started in all but two of the Pirates' previous 19 games following his return from the injured list Aug. 26, slashing .300/.347/.343 during that stretch.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Rowdy Tellez - Held out of lineup vs. righty Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Tellez is typically absent from the lineup against left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday for the second time in the Pirates' past three matchups with righties. Connor Joe will step in at first base in place of Tellez, who may be starting to lose some job security after producing a .485 OPS thus far in September.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Yorke - Call-up official, will start Monday The Pirates selected Yorke's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals. He'll start at second base and bat seventh in the series opener.
Impact Pittsburgh optioned infielder Alika Williams to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster for Yorke, who could be in store for a near-everyday role while getting his first taste of the big leagues over the final two weeks of the season. After being acquired from the Red Sox at the trade deadline, Yorke slashed .359/.438/.516 with two home runs and eight stolen bases in 176 plate appearances at Indianapolis to earn his way to the majors. Yorke has spent most of his minor-league career at second base, but he also picked up starts at shortstop and third base along with all three outfield spots this season and could end up filling a super-utility role for the Pirates.

Andrew McCutchen - Not in Pittsburgh lineup McCutchen is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact McCutchen started the previous three and six of the last seven contests, but he will begin Monday's series opener on the bench. Joey Bart is getting a start in the designated hitter slot while Yasmani Grandal does the catching.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Oneil Cruz - Sitting out with ankle injury Cruz (ankle) is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Cruz had to depart Sunday's game against the Royals due to left ankle discomfort. It's the same ankle he fractured in April of 2023 and he has had to miss a handful of games this season due to soreness in the ankle. The Pirates are viewing Cruz as day-to-day. Billy Cook is in center field and will bat ninth in Monday's series opener.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Alika Williams - Sent back to minors The Pirates optioned Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.
Impact He's the roster casualty as the Pirates clear a spot for Nick Yorke, whose contract was selected. Williams is a career .202/.257/.271 hitter over parts of two seasons at the major-league level and he hadn't seen any game action for the Pirates in a week.
