Jake Woodford - Takes tough-luck loss Monday Woodford (0-4) took the loss against San Diego on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out two batters over six innings.
Impact If this was an audition to reclaim a rotation spot, Woodford made a strong case, as he tossed his first quality start of the campaign while holding the Padres to a single run. The right-hander was given a chance to start as a result of Marco Gonzales moving to the injured list due to a forearm strain Monday, and with Gonzales now out for the season, Woodford could take his place in the rotation. Such a move may be temporary, however, as Jared Jones (lat) has begun a rehab assignment and could be back with the Pirates within the next 10 days.

Ryder Ryan - Promoted to big leagues The Pirates selected Ryan's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ryan was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh at the end of July and reported to Triple-A after failing to draw interest on waivers. However, he'll get another crack at big-league action following the placement of Marco Gonzales (forearm) on the 60-day injured list. Ryan has made 13 relief appearances for the Pirates in 2024, posting a 5.29 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 17.0 innings.

Marco Gonzales - Moved to 60-day IL Gonzales (forearm) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact The Pirates found out earlier in the day that Gonzales would require a trip to the injured list, and after reviewing the extent of the injury, the club has elected to shut him down for the rest of the season. He'll finish the year with a 4.54 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 33.2 innings of work. Pittsburgh selected the contract of Ryder Ryan in a corresponding move.
AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Gonzales - Headed to IL Gonzales will be placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left forearm strain, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gonzales struggled mightily in his last start Wednesday against the Padres, but the team neglected to report any injury news until Monday. It's still too early to know when Gonzales could return to the starting rotation, and Stumpf notes that the team is still gathering more information on the southpaw's injury to determine a rehab plan.
AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Woodford - Drawing start in San Diego Woodford will start Monday's game in San Diego, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's Marco Gonzales' turn, but Gonzales faced the Padres his last time out and was touched up for five runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. Whether Gonzales makes a start later in the series or is held back for the weekend set against the Mariners isn't clear. Woodford has made one start and two relief appearances for Pittsburgh, allowing seven runs (four earned) with a 5:0 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Johan Oviedo - Extends flat-ground distance Oviedo (elbow) has increased his throwing distance off flat ground to 105 feet as of Aug. 2, MLB.com reports.
Impact Oviedo has been slowly increasing the distance in which he's playing catch since being cleared to begin a throwing program May 20, approximately six months after he underwent Tommy John surgery. The right-hander is hopeful to be fully cleared for spring training in 2025, but he'll still need to resume mound work and face hitters over the offseason in order to enter camp with no restrictions.

Braxton Ashcraft - Recovering from forearm injury Ashcraft's placement on Triple-A Indianapolis' 7-day injured list July 12 was the result of recurrent symptoms of lateral forearm tightness, MLB.com reports.
Impact After suffering the injury during his July 6 start for Indianapolis, Ashcraft met with Dr. Keith Meister, who had previously performed the right-hander's Tommy John surgery in 2021. Fortunately for Ashcraft, his latest forearm issue was confirmed to be muscle-related, so the expectation is that he'll be able to recover from the injury with rest and rehab. Ashcraft resumed playing catch in late July and is still hopeful to return to action before the end of the 2024 season.

Edward Olivares - Outrighted to Triple-A The Pirates outrighted Olivares to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
Impact Olivares lost his spot on the 40-man roster this past Thursday, when the Pirates called up reliever Ben Heller from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Before he was designated for assignment, Olivares had been optioned to Triple-A shortly before the All-Star break after slashing .224/.291/.333 across 196 plate appearances with the big club. He hasn't fared much better during his time in Indianapolis this season, producing a .656 OPS through 63 plate appearances.

Jared Jones - Fans three in first rehab start Jones (lat) covered 2.2 innings and struck out three while giving up two earned runs on one hit and one walk in his rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Indianapolis.
Impact Pitching in a game for the first time since landing on the 15-day injured list July 4 with a Grade 2 lat strain, Jones tossed 47 pitches (30 strikes) and induced six swings and misses. After walking the leadoff batter in the bottom of the first inning, Jones then served up a two-run home run, but he retired the final eight hitters he faced before exiting. The 23-year-old righty will likely need one or two more rehab starts before making his return from the 15-day injured list.

David Bednar - Struggles continue in loss Bednar (3-5) took the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out a batter over 1.2 innings.
Impact Bednar was able to successfully send the game into extras with a scoreless ninth inning. He was staked a one-run lead after the Pirates scored in the 10th but immediately gave it back after Enrique Hernandez led off the bottom half with a double. He was able to get a strikeout on Jason Heyward and a foul out by Shohei Ohtani before Teoscar Hernandez walked things off with a base hit to right. Sunday was the fifth straight outing for Bednar allowing at least a run. He's only given up one home run over that span but has a 5:7 K:BB as well. Aroldis Chapman has allowed just one run in 10 appearances since July 20, however, there's been no indication of a possible change at closer for right now. Bednar, who came into this year making each of the last two All-Star games, now owns a 5.75 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 41:15 K:BB in 40.2 innings.
